Enable the iTunes Server Service and customize the service settings using the
iTunes menu. iTunes Server Service allows iPod and iTunes users to share and play
music on the WD ShareSpace.
Note: iTunes service is enabled by default.
When the iTunes Service is enabled in the WD ShareSpace’s Network Storage
Manager, you or anyone connected to the WD ShareSpace can play music files
stored on the system using iTunes. 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 WD ShareSpace to Windows or Mac computers running iTunes.
The iTunes Server Service supports only the following file types:
•*.mp3
*.wav
*.aac
Note: The iTunes server service 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 share if it has been deleted or given another name.

1. On the iTunes Server Service page, click Enable next to iTunes Service. Or,
deselect the option to disable it.
2. Specify how often iTunes will scan the device for new music files.
3. Click Submit.
