For this to work, you will need a WiFi /Ethernet connection and Windows Media®
Player 11 or higher installed on your PC*.
This is especially useful when you have a large library of music and video and you
cannot fit it all onto the internal hard drive of the ARCHOS.

cess and stream your PC’s files from the ARCHOS File Browser. See Browsing
