| Vista Home Premium | Network doesn't see music on server. April 20, 2009. I recently set up a network in my house which involves, -6 pc's(all of which have the same specs. 2 have extra memory) -1 of which functions as my server and is the only pc that has a CD,DVD,Blue Ray drive and a 3 terabyte hard drive. -I also have a Buffalo terabyte multi media station which basically acts as extra memory. -The remaining 5 pc's act as extenders which I distrubute to all the tv's in my home. -I currently use Clone DVD to burn DVD's to my hard drive and Any DVD to burn Blu Rays(Any DVD also is my copyright protection remover on both DVD and Blu Ray). -I then use my movies 2 to download cover art for media center. -I currently have the ability to access all of my movies via media center on any of my 5 extenders which have a "MY Movies" folder in media center.(Each extender has media center ) -The problem I have is I can't do the same for music. When I insert a CD in my server the media center on the server sees it and asks if I want to copy to media center which I do. However, it does not filter down to the extenders like DVD's and Blu Rays do. -I've chosen the appropiate folders to monitor in media center and tried to tinker with my network settings but nothing seems to work. Please does anybody have any ideas or suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong and any possible solutions. |

| Vista Home Premuim 32 | Re: Network doesn't see music on server. Your description is that of playing a CD over the network live as opposed to playing off a playlist on the server. I suggest ripping the CD music to a shared folder on the server as you did with the movies. |
