(Network and USB)
Music Player mode plays a variety of audio file formats
such as MP3, AAC (Apple), WMA (Microsoft) as well as
the completely lossless formats WAV & FLAC. These can
be ‘streamed’ from a computer on the local network, or
from a USB Flash stick or a hard drive on the network,
known as a NAS drive (Network attached storage).
To enter Music Player mode, either press Mode until the
display shows Music player, or select

select either Shared media or USB playback.
If you are already playing a music file, you can press
Back rather than Menu to quickly return to the last
visited branch of the menu tree.

If you have more than one computer sharing media, the
alternatives are listed. Select the shared media you want
to play. From this point on, the menus are generated
from the shared media server (typically Windows Media
Player). The first menu shows a list of media types, for
example Music, Video, Pictures and Playlists. The
WLD+211 can only play music and playlists.
From Music, there are numerous ways of selecting
tracks, including:
• Genre
• All Artists
• Contributing Artists
• Album Artists
• Composers
• Album
• Rating
Once you have found a track you want to play, press
Select . A short press plays the track immediately and a
long press adds the track to the playlist. You can also
add entire albums to the playlist. The WLD+211 plays
either the selected track or the playlist.
