AMS Overview
The Allegro Media Server is a full-featured and fully compliant implementation of a UPnP™ Media Server. AMS runs on a
Macintosh or Windows PC and provides access to media files and iTunes library contents from UPnP Media Players or
UPnP Media Control Points.
AMS Background
The Allegro Media Server streams digital music from iTunes® libraries to
wired or wireless networked digital music players using the same UPnP protocols that are used by
Windows Media Connect. This means that networked UPnP-based Digital Music Players such as the Philips
Streamium series and the Roku SoundBridge products can see an iTunes Digital Music Library over
the network and play individual songs or playlists.
The Allegro Media Server runs as a background application on Macintosh (OS-9, OS-X) and Windows
(XP, 2000, Vista, Win7) personal computers and provides a bridge between an iTunes Digital Music Library and the
world of networked media players. See the
Frequently Asked Questions page for more information about
the Allegro Media Server features.
The Allegro Media Server is based on Allegro's RomPlug UPnP Media Server toolkit,
one of the leading toolkits for UPnP technology. UPnP technology is all about
making home networking simple and affordable for everyone, so the connected home experience becomes a mainstream
reality. UPnP architecture leverages TCP/IP and Web technologies to enable seamless networking in addition to
control and data transfer among networked devices in the home.
The Allegro Media Server is fully compliant with the UPnP v1.0.1 specifications and the UPnP AV DCP
1.0 specifications. Allegro will be updating AMS shortly so that it will also interoperate with Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA)
Certified Digital Media Players such as the Sony PS3.
The Allegro Media Server is available now. You can try out a time-limited demonstration version, and
