Music Transfer
How to Transfer Music to Aurender
There are two ways to copy files to the Aurender's HDD. One is to use a computer connected to the Aurender Music Player via the Ethernet (LAN) connection. Another is to connect a USB memory device to the USB port on the rear panel.
To control the music on your Aurender music player you need to download and setup the Aurender remote app.

Note: If the Aurender is connected through a Gigabit network, the transfer speed will be roughly 50MB/sec. It could take 5-6 hours to copy 1TB of files. We recommend copying files in batches. The Aurender is able to playback music and copy files at the same time.
