Toshiba Media Controller

Owners of devices from a variety of manufacturers will often get, inside the package they purchase, some extra utilities that are meant to make the administration and usage of that unit more uncomplicated. This is especially evident with laptops, where the makers will equip the notebook or bundle with it one or more discs with valuable software.

Insofar as Toshiba systems are concerned, among the applications that are shipped with the laptops, some users may receive the Toshiba Media Controller utility. This software is especially tailored to allow users to share their multimedia files, which include movies, music and photos.

If the target devices are connected to the same local network, you will be able to stream the content and have it displayed or played on television sets, smartphones, media players or other notebooks. The neat interface supports drag and drop operations, so things should be fairly easy even for less experienced users.

With support for playlists and thanks to a nice array of media organizing features, Toshiba Media Controller facilitates the management of all the files on the source device. You can select which items will be made available to other network users by adding or removing files in the shared library.

To conclude, one thing is certain, namely that as nice tool as it may be, it is unfortunately limited to only a number of compatible devices. It would be great if any notebook owner could make use of this technology and share their favorite movies, songs and pictures with their friends or have, for example, the same music or video played on several devices at home.
