Music library

The Music Library menu item lists all found UPnP servers and USB media devices.

There are many suitable UPnP server software packages available for PC and Mac.
Stand-alone servers and Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices with built in
UPnP server capabilities are also available. Please see the set-up guides on our
website at: www.cambridgeaudio.com/networksetup

Note: When using a UPnP server to share your media, the menu structure, search
and selection criteria are determined by that server, not the 851N.

Playlists

The 851N supports various playlist formats:

• ASX (Microsoft® playlist format)

• M3U

• PLS

For permanent storage of favourite media selections it is recommended to use
suitable software to create playlists. These can then be accessed by the 851N
from USB storage devices or UPnP servers that support playlist serving.

It is not currently possible to save playlists created on the 851N.
