NOTE
You can use the WebDisk function to manage your digital music, or you can
manage through SMB/CIFS (see SMB/CIFS Setup section).

Adding Music Files

You could add music files into iTunes Server through Web User Interface;
however, if you have lots of folders and files to upload, there is a simpler way.
1. Open a Windows Explorer and type the N1200 IP address in the address
bar (i.e. \\192.168.1.100).
2. Double click the Music folder to enter it. Then drag and drop music folders
and files here.
3. The N1200 iTunes server will take some time to cache the ID3 tag of every
file. Once the process is done, you will see all the music files from iTunes
clients.

Playing Music Files

Once your music files are added to the N1200, playing them on any iTunes-
equipped computer connected to the network is easy:
1. Open iTunes.
2. You should see Thecus_N1200 under the SHARED heading in the left
hand menu.
3. Click Thecus_N1200 and all shared music will be displayed, ready to be
enjoyed right from iTunes.
