Aargh - sometimes WD’s directions are TOO VAGUE, especially when dealing with the iTunes server.
questions: When the directions say “copy your music files to the shared music folder” - what are the specifics? Do all of the raw music files have to be extracted from their current iTunes-created folders and lumped into one big directory? Or, what is the folder path and naming convention? I copied all 129Gb of music to \SERVERNAME\SHARED MUSIC\iTunes\music folder - and nothing shows up when I try to access the MLBD Shared Music as seen by iTunes on my laptop.
2 - How can I get iTunes on my laptop to recognize that 129Gb of music? I moved the folders to the MLBDuo, told iTunes the new folder location on startup, but all of the music files still point back to the ofiginal folders on my C: drive.
Not working! All of the music folders are now in I
iTunes is set up with a library location of
iTunes (v11) can see the AMCMBLIVEDUO as an iTunes server, but no music is displayed.
I select a song in iTunes, Show File in Windows Explorer, and sure enough, the music is still linked to a location on the hard drive of my computer, not the network drive.
So then, how about answering one of the original questions - do shared music files have to be dumped into the MBLD’s Shared Music folder - all 129gb of music files, or can I copy the folders over from iTunes?
If you want to run all your music of your NAS, then what you can do is
Copy everything under the whole iTunes directory from your PC to your NAS (including Library files *.itl and *.xml) and then use this document to open another library which will be your NAS.
