To access folders with access control, you must first login with a local user account.

Using iTunes® Server

The N199 has a built-in iTunes® Server that allows you to stream music stored on the N199 to any iTunes-ready device on your network.

You can use the WebDisk function to manage your digital music, or you can manage through SMB/CIFS (see SMB/CIFS Setup section).

Adding Music Files

You could add music files into iTunes Server through Web User Interface; however, if you have lots of folders and files to upload, there is a simpler way.

1.Open a Windows Explorer and type the N199 IP address in the address bar (i.e. \\192.168.1.100).

2.Double click the Music folder to enter it. Then drag and drop music folders and files here.

3.The N199 iTunes server will take some time to cache the ID3 tag of every file. Once the process is done, you will see all the music files from iTunes clients.

Playing Music Files

Once your music files are added to the N199, playing them on any iTunes- equipped computer connected to the network is easy:

1.Open iTunes.

2.You should see Thecus_N199 under the SHARED heading in the left hand menu.

3.Click Thecus_N199 and all shared music will be displayed, ready to be enjoyed right from iTunes.
