Media Collector provides the ability to copy your iTunes music library and playlists to your HP
MediaSmart Server. You can centralize your iTunes library for playback on any computer on your
home network that runs iTunes.
Your Server is enabled for iTunes by default. To set up your Server for iTunes follow these steps:
1. At the computer, double-click the Windows Home Server icon in the system tray.
2. Log on to the Windows Home Server.
3. In the left pane of the HP MediaSmart Server tab, click the Server for iTunes button. In the
right pane click the Configure button. The Windows Home Server Settings window opens. Here
you can set up the following:
•
Status —enable or disable.
•
Shared name —specify the shared name you want to display in iTunes.
•
Require password —check to require password. The default setting here is no password. If you
assign a password, then only users who provide the correct password can play music from your
Server's shared library.
•
Check interval —how often to check for music that has been added to the shared Music folder on
the server. By default this is set to check every 15 minutes.
5. Click OK to finish.
