iTunes
Computers can use iTunes to access music stored in the iTunes library on Stora. These
iTunes clients must be connected to the same home network as Stora. They cannot
access the iTunes library remotely across the Internet.
1. Adding songs to the iTunes library
The iTunes server can stream music from the iTunes library to the iTunes clients on your
home network. The iTunes server can run on either the host computer or Stora.
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.
2. Configuring an iTunes client
Configuring an iTunes client ensures it will look for shared libraries, including the
FamilyMusic folder on Stora.
To configure an iTunes client, choose Edit > Preferences, and then select the Sharing
tab. Ensure Look for shared libraries is selected.
3. Playing songs with an iTunes client
Music files stored on Stora appear in the SHARED > Stora:iTunes folder. You can play
these songs within iTunes, but you cannot add them to a playlist. Pictures, videos and
documents stored on Stora 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 Stora:iTunes folder, and then double-click the song.
The idea is to take all the music files on all the computers, move them to Stora >
FamilyLibrary > FamilyMusic; and have them all accessible through each computer's
iTunes program.
