USER MANUAL
Using iTunes with WD ShareSpace
iTunes Media Server Overview
With the iTunes Media Server Service, 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.
Media Types Supported
The iTunes Server Service supports 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’ folder if it has been deleted or given another name.
Storing Content
See “Step 2: Access WD ShareSpace on the Network” on page 10 for instructions
on moving your media files to WD ShareSpace’s ‘/Public/Shared Music’ default
folder.
Streaming Audio in iTunes
The iTunes Service is enabled by default in the WD ShareSpace’s Network Storage
Manager utility. See “To enable or disable the iTunes Server Service:” on page 126
for more information.
1. Launch iTunes on your computer.
2. Click WDShareSpace under the Shared section of the left pane. If you have
copied music to the /Public/Shared Music folder and it is in a format supported
by iTunes, it should be listed in the right pane.
