My EVA700 works with Windows Media Player 11 for both the UPnP server and if you want to create playlists, so you don't really need the CD except for documentation.

For WMP11, you need to turn on the "Media Sharing" feature under libary and ALLOW the EVA700 to play the media in your library. You can also create playlists in WMP11 and have them seen by your EVA700.

You can also use other UPnP media servers like Twonkyvision or TVersity, but pretty much everyone has WMP11. The EVA8000 software won't work since it's not a UPnP server (EVA8000 uses std file sharing).
