Hi Andrew, This is related to the feature of Windows Media Player 11 called Media Sharing and I will share the following information about it as well: Share your media in Windows Media Player with other people or devices http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/Help/7391bdc3-3767-4f98-9cf6-80d8bd2a05941033.mspx Sharing your media http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/faq/sharing.mspx Hope this helps.
