That explains the problems I was having, see below. When the itunes XML file and the Itunes music folder are on another networked computer, the server reads the song location from the Itunes XML file and not from the folder designated as the Itunes music folder on the server. This explains why it is looking in the wrong directory. Anyway to correct this? On Jun 9, 2005, at 10:00 AM, johnpaul wrote: > The IP address didn't work.
