9 - Your own UPnP music server
As mentioned (see p. 36) a music server software is necessary in order to play music files located in your
network on the iRadio.
9.1 Twonky Media
Several NOXON-compatible alternative music servers are available, most of which are not free of charge.
Included with the NOXON at no additional cost is the TwonkyVision TwonkyMedia software. We have de-
termined that working with this UPnP application was the least complicated and caused the fewest prob-
lems with files that could not be found, or with abstract interpretations of special characters and umlauts in
entries. After all, a few Björk or Motörhead tracks are essential to any collection. The software not only
supports Windows, but also Mac OS X, Linux, and many media formats.
Another advantage is that you are not dependent on perfectly groomed ID tags—you can also navigate
using folders and file names. (The ID tag is a part of an MP3 file that contains information on the artist,
album, etc.). Additionally, in Version 4.x, your receive a complete online media browser, which you can use
with Internet Explorer, for example. To launch it, click the symbol with the eye in the upper-right corner.
Additional information
• Extensive documentation for the TwonkyVision MediaServer is available in the "TwonkyVision" pro-
gram group in the Start menu, on the CD, or online at
http://www.twonkyvision.com/Support/FAQ/faq.php.
• The CD also contains versions of the server for other operating systems.
• Updates are free for whole-number versions. For example, you could always update from version 4.4
to version 4.6, but not from 4.4 to version 5.1, since this upgrade can be purchased and, as one would
expect, includes several new and extended and improved features. You can find the latest version
downloads at:
http://www.twonkyvision.de/Download/TwonkyMedia
Your license code on the CD will remain valid as long as the main version number of the download version
matches that of your version.
Installation
We will be describing the Windows installation below. The included CD also contains versions for other
operating systems.
Insert the software CD in your CD drive. An autostarter will appear with a menu from which you can launch
the TwonkyMedia media server setup. If it does not, go to "START", select "RUN...", click "BROWSE..." and
in "LOOK IN:" select the drive containing the CD. Change to the folder "\Software\TwonkyVision\Windows".
Select the file "TwonkyMediaSetup.exe" and click "OPEN".
