You can also share a list of songs as you do with the playlist. To do so, click "Sharing" on the right
panel, drag & drop songs under "Songs" on the right panel from the middle and use the "Email",
"Social Sharing", or "Link" button to share this list of songs. Note that the difference between sharing
a playlist and a list of songs is that for a playlist, it is the entire playlist that you created under
"Playlist" on the left panel. For a list of songs, it is a list of songs you have chosen from different
albums.
Note:
 To stream media files to HDMI or Chromecast using the Network Media Player, the
Media Streaming Add-On must first be installed in the App Center.

Multi-zone control and streaming
Music Station works with your NAS Audio output (USB speaker, Soundcard, HDMI), Bluetooth, and
Network Media Players (DLNA, Chromecast, AirPlay) making it easy to stream music to many types of
devices. It can stream different music to all the supported devices in your home, or the same music
in sync at the same time. You can change the output device by using the "streaming mode" button
(ear piece icon) on the player panel, and then by double clicking a song to start playing it on that
device. You can add more songs to the Now Playing list to play your desired songs on that device.
Note:
 To stream media files to HDMI or Chromecast, the Multimedia Extension Pack must first
be installed in the App Center.
 Please check the QNAP website for supported USB speakers.
 Some models with 3.5mm audio output may not support USB audio output.
 Radio stations only support playing under streaming mode and Bluetooth.
