Chapter 3: Synchronizing Media
Synchronization provides your ANTHOLOGY media server the information it needs to access and
play external media stored elsewhere on the network. These media sources can be within iTunes,
Windows Media Player or simply files in a folder on a source device connected to the network
To enable synchronization:
1. Identify the computer systems where your media files are located to the ANTHOLOGY system
on the Content tab of the ANTHOLOGY Configuration screens.
2. Install the Media Synchronization client application. This application sends the file location
information of your iTunes, Windows Media Player or media folder libraries to your ANTHOLOGY
media server. This software can be downloaded from a link on the Firmware tab of the
ANTHOLOGY Configuration screens. (See Other Software - Media Synchronization for details.)
After this application is installed you can execute the application to synchronize to the ANTHOLOGY.
