Welcome to Beoworld.
The Encore needs a DLNA server running on your Mac in order to access the music files.
Please install a server (do a search on 'DLNA on Mac'), and point it to your files in the settings.
The server will index the files - might take some time depending on how many files you have.
Then do a search on the Encore for available servers, and choose the installed one.
Do remember, that if your files were organized through iTunes, you will need to put a 'cover-pic' into the album folder (just call it folder.jpg) - otherweise you won't see much on the display of your device.
Have a look at page 22 of the Encore userguide!
And of course the server/Mac and the Encore must be on the same network.
