USER MANUAL
Using iTunes with My Book World Edition
iTunes Media Server Overview
With the iTunes Media Server, you or anyone connected to the My Book World
Edition 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 for
music files to stream from the My Book World Edition to Windows or Mac computers
running iTunes.
Media Types Supported
The iTunes Media Server supports the following file types:
• *.mp3
• *.wav
• *.aac
Note: The iTunes server 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
You can drag and drop audio files to My Book World Edition’s ‘/Public/Shared Music’
default folder.
Streaming Audio in iTunes
The iTunes Media Server is enabled by default in the Network Storage Manager
utility. See “To enable or disable the iTunes Server:” on page 139 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.
