How to Stream your Music from your PC

Use the TiVo Desktop application to stream your MP3 music library from your PC to your network-connected TiVo DVR.

Publishing music with TiVo Desktop

Publishing your music means making MP3 files available over your home network to your TiVo DVR. Publishing does not copy music files to your DVR, so published music does not use any of your DVR's recording space. To publish a playlist or folder of music:

Show the steps

Open TiVo Desktop and select the Publish Media icon .

Click the "Music" tab, then click "Add Music."

Navigate to the folder containing the playlist or folder of music you want to publish. When you select a folder, any MP3 files within that folder are listed in the right frame of the Add Music window.

To publish a whole folder of music, select the folder and click "Add." To publish individual MP3 files, select them from the list on the right, then click "Add."

Streaming music on your TiVo DVR

To listen to music on the TiVo DVR:

You will see any playlists or folders that you have published. Highlight one and press PLAY. In a few seconds, music starts playing. After the first song ends, the second song in the playlist or folder begins.
