If you hold the SHIFT key while starting iTunes, it will give you the option of opening or creating a new music library. Create a new music library (it will then open as the default..) Change the settings so that the music is not imported, only the headers and point iTunes at your NAS. You can also export/import any playlists, etc. BFL ------------------------------------------------------------------------ banned for life's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=56269 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=100806 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
