No, I just have some regular playlists. So, there is no real reason to have iTunes integration and I can certainly create new playlists. I have turned off the iTunes applet and I've pointed SBS to the iTunes/music location and its indexing right now. Scanning has completed and I can access artists, albums, genre etc, the artwork is present and it all seems to function. Thank you. I am not an Apple fan... its just another tool, however, it would have been nice to use the same tool across all my platforms. Thanks for you help aubuti and Danny.
