Support for removable storage locations.
You can now share content that is stored at a removable storage
location, such as on a USB flash drive, Secure Digital card,
CompactFlash card, data CD, or data DVD.
Support for ASF file format. You can now share audio-only ASF (Advanced Systems Format) files.
Improved browsing on devices.
Windows Media Connect 2.0 lets your digital media receivers display
your content by folder name, as well as by artist, album, and so on.
Better integration with Windows Firewall.
Windows Media Connect 2.0 automatically opens the necessary ports in
Windows Firewall and allows you to reset the Windows Firewall settings
from within Windows Media Connect.
Streamlined user interface.
Rarely used options, such as the option to rename devices or the option
to only share folders when you are logged on to your computer, have
been removed from Windows Media Connect 2.0.
