If on your PC, the My Documents folder is set to private, you cannot share any
folder within it. To make the iTunes folder sharable, you need to either move it out of
My Documents onto somewhere else on your hard drive, then change your iTunes
preferences to point to the new location, or make youre My Documents folder
sharable. To do this, go to C:\Documents and Settings, right click on the folder
corresponding to your user name, select Sharing and Security and un-tick the box
saying Make this folder private. Then go to your iTunes folder and share it in the
normal way.
For the Mac:
Note: Due to Apple changing their folder sharing properties, if you have Mac OS
X 10.4.2 or above, then you need to also
share your iTunes Music folder in the
same way as above but also by using a program called SharePoints. Please
see the next page for more details.
For the 640H to correctly display compilation albums imported using iTunes, open
iTunes on your PC/Mac. Click Edit/Preferences/Advanced and tick the box marked
Keep iTunes music folder organized. Click the compilation album and select all the
tracks. Right click over any of the tracks and select Get Info. Under Artists type in what
you want to call the artist for this compilation (i.e. Various Artists, or
Various etc). This will now appear correctly on the 640H the next time you re-scan. To
keep each individual artists name, place it in the song title after the song.
To associate album artwork with an album, drop a jpg of the album art into the correct
albums folder in the iTunes folder on your PC/Mac. Please rename the picture as
user.jpg. Note: Scanning and updating the database as described above does take
an increased amount of time, the larger your iTunes collection is.
