Hi

I've got four questions about iTunes Server. Maybe you can help.

1. Is ist possible to create or import playlists to my iTunes Server? On my iPhone remote App there's a tab for playlists, but it's empty and i don't want to play my whole archive on shuffle mode...

2. If I stream music from my NAS via iTunes Server to a Mac using iTunes, i can use the "next song" feature, that allows me to see and manipulate the next few songs when playing in shuffle mode. If i do the same on my iPhone, the function is disabled. What do i do wrong?

3. I often listen to my local radio using an online stream. With iTunes i can enter an URL to open the stream. Can i do this with my NAS as well using Remote on my iPhone?

4. I activated "media mode" in the settings and enabled the audio jack/ hdmi output on iTunes Server and SoundsGood. But when i plug my 2.1 stereo system, there is no sound. What am i doing wrong?

Regards and thx for help!

nope. Audio Jack.

I advanced a bit in point 1: I exported a playlist with iTunes as .m3u and placed it in my music directory on my NAS. Now there is a playlist showing up in my iOS Remote App, but without any soundfiles linked to it. So I opened the playlist file with a texteditor and changed the path information for every song, but without success. I tried several combinations of /Music/Artist/song.mp3 or Volume1/Music/Artist/song.mp3 etc. but nothing worked. Maybe I should just know the exact path description for my music to make the thing work.

Point 4 solved.
Seems like audio output over audio jack only works, if asustor portal recognizes your tv, what could be fixed using the workaround in this thread http://forum.asustor.com/viewtopic.php?f=72&t=2593

For the other points: does anyone experience the same problems as I do or am I just too dumb? :)
