Using iTunes with My Book World Edition

iTunes Media Server Overview

With the iTunes Media Server Service, you or anyone connected to the network
storage system can play music files stored on the system using iTunes. This service
creates a virtual music library on the device and treats it as an iTunes repository,
making it possible for music files to stream from the network storage system to
Windows or Mac computers running iTunes.

Media Types Supported

The iTunes Server Service supports the following file types:
• *.mp3
• *.wav
• *.aac
Note: The iTunes server service requires the presence of the '/Public/Shared Music' share folder. Do
not rename or delete Shared Music if you want to use the iTunes server. You must recreate or
rename the '/Public/Shared Music' folder if it has been deleted or renamed.

Storing Content

See "Step 2: Access My Book World Edition on the Network" on page 11 for
instructions on moving your media files to My Book World Edition's '/Public/Shared
Music' default folder.

Streaming Audio in iTunes

The iTunes Service is enabled by default in the Network Storage Manager utility. See
"To enable or disable the iTunes Server Service:" on page 106 for more information.
1. Launch iTunes on your computer.
2. Click MyBookWorld under the Shared section of the left pane. If you have
copied music to the /Public/Shared Music folder and it is in a format supported
by iTunes, it should be listed in the right pane.
