Installing Gizmo

1. Download and install the trial version of MC15 on your PC. A network is required. If you plan to use Gizmo outside your home network, you'll need to open your firewall for the port used (see Media Network options in MC to find the port). This article on Network Access may also be useful.

2. In MC Options for Media Network, turn on access to Library Server.

3. From your phone, choose the "Market" icon and search for "Gizmo". Install the one from J River.

4. When you run Gizmo on your phone, you'll be asked for an access key. You can get it from Media Network options in MC. See the picture below.

5. Once you enter the key, you will be able to browse your library from the phone and select media to play.

If you have a question, please post on Interact.
