iTunes
Computers can use iTunes to access music stored in the iTunes library on the ICY BOX
Mediaserver. These iTunes clients must be connected to the same home network as the
ICY BOX Mediaserver. They cannot access the iTunes library remotely across the
Internet.
Adding songs to the iTunes library
The ICY BOX Mediaserver can stream music from the iTunes library to the iTunes
clients on your home network.
Adding songs to the iTunes library makes them available to the iTunes clients.
To add songs to the iTunes library, first move the music files to subfolders within
FamilyLibrary > FamilyMusic. After moving the music files, ensure the folder is shared.
Select the FamilyMusic folder, and display the menu. If the Unshare with DMA
command is displayed, the folder is shared. If the Share with DMA command is
available, select it.
Configuring an iTunes client
Configuring an iTunes client ensures it will look for shared libraries, including the
FamilyMusic folder on the ICY BOX Mediaserver.
To configure an iTunes client, choose Edit > Preferences, and then select the Sharing
tab. Ensure Look for shared libraries is selected.
