How to Access iTunes Library on NAS from 2nd PC

[smorey]

I have a large library ripped from my MacBook Pro to a NAS on a wired network. My MacBook stays in my listening room and, for now, functions as the music server feeding my DAC. I installed iTunes on my upstairs office PC and would like to be able to access the music stored on the NAS while working in the office. Although I set the library to the same location in Preferences, I see nothing listed on the PC. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Hi smorey - You likely need to use the Add To Library feature. This should be on the File menu or something similar on a PC. You'll point it to the folder on the NAS that contains the music and all will show up in iTunes.

You can try sharing iTunes library between your mac and pc but it's a bit tricky... or as Chris suggested just use 'Add Folder to Library...' on your pc.

Thanks all, with your advice I have it working!
