Hi,

How do I import music into iTunes on a new Mac Pro (without an optical drive) 
from a CD in the optical drive of an old Mac Pro?

On my old Mac Pro with a built-in optical drive, I set up "DVD or CD Sharing" 
in System Preferences and I did not check the box to have it ask me before 
allowing others to use it.

On the new Mac Pro, I can click on "Remote Disc" in the Sidebar of the Finder 
and see an entry for "Audio CD", but clicking on it does not display the 
contents.  Similarly, from within iTunes on the new Mac Pro, I can click on 
"Add to Library" and navigate to the shared "Audio CD", but the "Open" button 
remains gray and I cannot click on it.

In both cases, there is a "Connect As" button in the navigation panel, but 
clicking on it simply makes it blink once and nothing else happens.

What else do I need to do to gain access to the CD in the remote optical drive?

I googled and did not find much.  A few articles made it sound easy, doing just 
what I did.  One article, however, made it sound like this only works with data 
CDs and not with audio CDs.  Why is that?  I own the CD and both Mac Pros.  
They are both running Mavericks and are connected via ethernet to the same LAN. 
 Is this not possible?

Thanks,

Gregg
