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 N1200 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 N1200 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 N1200, playing them on any iTunes-
equipped computer connected to the network is easy: 
 
1.  Open iTunes. 
 
2.  You should see Thecus_N1200 under the SHARED heading in the left 
hand menu. 
 
3.  Click Thecus_N1200 and all shared music will be displayed, ready to be 
enjoyed right from iTunes. 
NOTE 
The Delete, Create New Folder, and Upload Files options are only visible if the user 
has write access to the specific folder.
