Subject: Re: iTunes sharing

Hi Peter,

That’s correct … Home Sharing should NOT be turned on the other computers 
iTunes … they are not Sharing their iTunes Library!
Home Sharing is being handled via the computer that has “Peter’s Library” 
iTunes.

I presumed you had Home Sharing only set on the one computer that was sharing 
its iTunes Library. 
I should know by now “Never Assume Anything” ;-)

Cheers,
Ronni
