iTunes Media Server Overview
With the iTunes Media Server, you or anyone connected to the My Book Live can
use iTunes to play music files stored on it. This service creates a virtual music library
on the device and treats it as an iTunes repository, making it possible to stream
media files from the My Book Live to Windows or Mac computers running iTunes.
Media Types Supported
The iTunes Media Server supports the following file types:
AAC
ALAC
MP3
FLAC
Ogg Vorbis
Musepack
WMA

MPEG-4
Music and video playlists
Note: The iTunes server scans any shares that have the Media Serving setting
enabled, including the Public share by default.
Storing Content
You can drag and drop media files into the corresponding folders in the Public share
(e.g., music files into My Book Live’s ‘/Public/Music’ default folder).
Streaming Media in iTunes
The iTunes Media Server is enabled by default in the dashboard. See “Media Server
Settings” on page 73 for more information.
