I've moved my iTunes music files on an external drive and finally got Squeezebox Server to see these files. However, I can only play the music from the Squeezebox server interface, and not from the iTunes one. This means that my playlists are not there or that I cannot iTunes sorting and shuffling capabilities.
Is there a way to use iTunes as the controlling software to feed through Squeezebox Server?
Short answer - no. If you are using a Squeeze-box device it needs Squeeze-server and will only access your music files through Squeeze-server.
But, you can develop your own playlists on Squeeze-server that will be very similar to your playlists on iTunes.
