I downloaded engine prime to my mac. I have music on the pc. I do not know how to make the link with denon prime 4 so that the music played on the mac, goes through denon prime 4 while the USB 4 cable is connected?

You need to copy the files onto a ExFat formatted drive on the prime4

When you connect a computer to a Prime, you can move files from the computer to the prime but you have to disconnect t the computer before you can play the files on the prime.

So, the prime 4 has space for a SSD drive inside, so you could move 100,000 files to the SSD then disconnect the computer and play all those files on the prime 4

Or you could move thousands of files to a usb stick and plug that into the prime 4 and play music from that.
