98 Chapter 20: Manage Media Server and iTunes Service
Manage iTunes Server
Go to Main Menu > iTunes Server to use iTunes service. After it is enabled, all iTunes clients on the same local
area network can browse and play songs or videos in the music and video shared folders on the server. The
server will be listed below Shared in the iTunes window after the service is enabled.
Note: For privacy reasons, iTunes clients are not allowed to view videos in the photo shared folder.
Launch iTunes Server
Enter your Shared name. Tick Require password and enter a password if you want iTunes users to enter a
password before accessing your shared folders.
Use Smart Playlist
Click Smart Playlist to open the Smart Playlist window, where you can create and edit smart playlists on your
Synology NAS.
A smart playlist can automatically include certain types of songs that match specific rules. iTunes clients will be
able to play the smart playlist you created.
Note: You can also create and edit smart playlists with Audio Station. See "Choose Audio Source" for more
information.
Re-index Media Files
Click Re-index at Main Menu > Control Panel > Media Indexing Service to reconstruct the index structure of
the audio files if you find missing files while browsing through Synology NAS with iTunes. The process will be
executed in the background.
For more information about the index function provided by Media Indexing Service, click the Help button (with a
question mark) at the top-right corner at Main Menu > Control Panel > Media Indexing Service, or see "Index
Multimedia Files for Applications".
