Access Shared Libraries on Your Local Network
Once you??™ve selected the Look For Shared Libraries check box on the Sharing tab,
iTunes automatically detects shared libraries when you launch the program while
your computer is connected to a network. If a shared library comes online after that,
iTunes detects it almost immediately.
If iTunes finds shared libraries or playlists, it displays them in the Source pane
on the left. Figure 13-3 shows an example of browsing the music shared by another
computer.
If a shared library has a password, iTunes displays the Shared Library Password
dialog box. Type the password, and then click the OK button to access the library.
Select the Remember Password check box before clicking the OK button if you want
iTunes to save the password to speed up future access to the library.
Double-click the entry for a shared library in the Source pane to open a separate window that
shows the library??™s contents.
