portable player.
Transferring Music to your Portable Player
using iTunes
The iTunes Media Player application is specifically
designed to simplify the process of synchronizing your
music collection with an iPod portable player. Support
for other devices is limited; you should check that
your portable player is compatible before using this
application.
Note : These instructions refer to Apple iTunes version
7.1. Whilst most versions are supported, the user
interfaces may vary and therefore these instructions may
not always be accurate.
The Library source in iTunes shows all media files stored
on the local hard disk as well as media which has been
added from other networked drives. You can add the
music collection from your MediaServer to the
Library as
follows:
Select the • Preferences option. This can be found
under the Edit menu on the Windows edition of
iTunes and under the iTunes menu on the Macintosh
version.
Select the • Advanced tab.
Ensure that the option labelled • Copy files to iTunes
Music folder when adding to library is unchecked.
Click the • OK button to confirm any changes.
If you are using a Windows PC:
Making sure you have • Library displayed in iTunes,
navigate in Windows Explorer to your MediaServer
on the network and open the MusicShare folder.
If you are using a Macintosh:
Pull down the • Go menu and click Connect to Server.
Enter the IP address of the MediaServer, for example •
smb://192.168.0.4

transfer entire albums, or all the music by a
particular artist, by dragging the relevant folder
into the iTunes
Library and releasing the mouse
button. To transfer the entire contents of your
Audio Library , drag the folder entitled Albums By
Artist into the iTunes Library.

Once the iTunes Library source has been updated with
the music from your MediaServer you can update your
iPod as follows:

Click the • Browse button in the top right-hand
corner of the iTunes window.
Drag any item from the • Genre , Artist , Album lists

Updating the iTunes Library
If you have removed music from your MediaServer
or edited the names of any items in the library you
will need to update the iTunes
Library to remove any
broken links. To do this, you should first delete all the
MediaServer albums from the iTunes
Library as follows:
Select the • View Options item from the View menu.
Check the • Grouping option, then click the OK
button to confirm your changes.
In the iTunes • Library click the new Grouping column
heading. The tracks located on your MediaServer
external storage device will be grouped together
using the label <-
MediaServer_NAME (e.g.
<- ImergeMS1-1234 ).
Click on the first track in the list with this grouping •
label then, holding down the Shift key, click the last
track.
Press the • Delete key to remove these tracks from
the iTunes Library .
Click • Yes to confirm your choice.
Repeat the import process described above to add back
the MediaServer information.

import WMA files into iTunes they will be automatically
converted to a format iTunes can play. This is AAC by
default, but you can change it in the Advanced pane of
iTunes Preferences.
