Title: Linkstation Quad How to Set up iTunes?
Post by: hoisingp on January 27, 2009, 05:28:56 PM
   

Just unpacked my new Quad... though I haven't figured out how to set up the iTunes server.

 

Have a shared folder named Media with all my music on it with the media server enabled on it. I can access it with my Xbox360.

 

Was expecting it to show up under the shared in my iTunes, however nothing is up except a roomate's shared iTunes folder, so I know it is working on that end.

 

What is the set up procedure for sharing on iTunes?

 

Thanks,

Paul

There should be no special options required to enable the iTunes sharing.  As long as there are music files in your media folder, and the media server is turned on, then iTunes should be able to pick up the quad as a shared library.

 

If you have not already, make sure you update the firmware on your Quad to the latest version.  After updating it, reset the unit to factory defaults using the Maintenance -> Initialization menu in the web management page - this will restart all the services with the newer versions.

 

Let is know if the problems persist after that.

Updated my Quad to the new firmware and reset to all defaults.

 

Bigger problem now, can't connect any clients to the media server. Media server is enabled and pointed to the correct folder, however no clients are showing up to allow access like before. Can't get my Xbox360 to connect anymore.
