UPnP Media Server Music Source

Do you own more music than you can store on your iOS device(s)? But you don't want to store your music in the cloud or the internet? Then a UPnP Media Server is the right thing for you!

Please note:

If you just opened the 'Media Server' source in the WHAALE app and you see this page, press the '<' button in the upper left corner to get to the list of media servers!

MUSIC FROM A UPNP MEDIA SERVER

A UPnP Media Server allows you to store your complete media library and share it in your home network. There are different types of servers. You can either use a software like XBMC (see below) to transform your Mac or PC into a server. Or you can use a standalone device like the DLink DNS 325 containing a separate (usb) hard-disc.
