Playing songs with an iTunes client
Music files stored on the ICY BOX Mediaserver appear in the SHARED > ICY BOX
Mediaserver: iTunes folder. You can play these songs within iTunes, but you cannot add
them to a playlist. Pictures, videos and documents stored on the ICY BOX Mediaserver
are not available within iTunes.
Up to five iTunes clients on your home network (i.e. computers and media players) can
play iTunes DRM-protected music, but an unlimited number of iTunes clients can play
iTunes Plus music or songs imported from CD.
To play music, select the ICY BOX Mediaserver:iTunes folder, and then double-click the
song.
