Accessing Your Personal Cloud Using iTunes

You or anyone connected to the WD My Cloud EX2 device can use iTunes to play stored
music files. This service creates a virtual music library on the device and treats it as an iTunes
repository, making it possible to stream music files from the WD My Cloud EX2 device to
Windows or Mac computers running iTunes. For a list of supported media types, see "Media
Types Supported" on page 102.
Note: iTunes 10.4 or later only supports music files. See Knowledge Base Answer ID 8412
for additional information on iTunes supported versions.
Note: iTunes scans any shares that have the Media Serving setting enabled, including the
Public share by default.
You can drag and drop media files into the corresponding folders in the Public share (e.g.,
music files into the WDMyCloudEX2/Public/Shared Music default share).
Streaming Media in iTunes
iTunes is enabled by default in the dashboard. See "Enabling iTunes" on page 105. for more
information on configuring iTunes.
