<<I don't know what to choose for type (SMB, NFS, Upnp)?>>
As you've mentioned 'Windows' as your computer's OS use SMB (NFS is for Linux/Unix and UPnP is used for UPnP/DNLA media servers which commands a different use setup)
<<Should I enter windows userName and password?>>
This is a MUST...
<< Also, what path format to enter? (i try in format compName/SharedFolderName) >>
That's correct... the exact name of your computer (as it is shown on your home network and NO leading characters i.e. back/forward slash before the CompName followed by the path leading to the folder where you got the music files; the music files folder could be a sub-folder or a sub-sub-folder, etc. so the path to it SHOULD show this, like this example: JimandJennyPC/xxx/yyy/zzz
If after saving the info entered you get an error remove the entry and try all over again with the same info BUT a small change refering to replacing the ComputerName with the IP address attributed to your computer by the home router (DHCP): IPaddress/xxx/yyy/zzz (how to find your computer's IP address please refer to the router's manual and/or Local & External IP Address )
