Sharing Music folder with Internet radio

[Georgetoon]

I want to share my music folder with my internet radio.  I enabled sharing of the folder and checked off Windows Samba.

The radio sees the computer and sees the folder.  But, it asks for a user name and password. When I provide these, I still do not gain access.

Wait....did a Google search and found this article form PCLinuxOS magazine:

Okay, read through it and things sure have changed since 2009.  Some of the stuff isn't where it should be.  I haven't changed anything yet.

Ye know, I have no idea what you are doing   

What radio app? Or is it a device?

You want to share to or from a Win PC?

If not using Windows ignore Samba ....  it is a pain!

My apologeis.  Okay, I have an internet radio   Free standing.  It hooks into the network/internet via wireless. 

I blogged about it in the past:

Also blogged on my old blog OneClickLinux.com:

Anyhow, the radio can act as a media player by reading a shared music folder on your computer and then playing the songs. 

For some reason, when I ran Linux Mint, the shared folders always came up on the radio without a problem.  Now, in PCLinuxOS, I guess I need to do some set up.

I recently acquired a Logitech Squeezebox Radio for Internet radio and streaming music from my PC. Although the built-in speaker is not great, it drives a pair of powered speakers (with sub-woofer) very well ......  great stereo sound.

I now use squeezeboxserver from the repository which makes my music available to the radio.

Does you radio require a DNLA server on the PC?

You should also check your Firewall if enabled.

Happy New year!

Well, did this on my desktop tonight after shooting a video of my Tablet.

Used instructions from Tex:

Internet radio still asking for a password.

I guess I messed up someplace.
