Home Sharing
Home Sharing lets you play music, movies, and TV shows from the iTunes library on your Mac or
PC. iPod touch and your computer must be on the same Wi-Fi network.
Note: Home Sharing requires iTunes 10.2 or later, available at www.itunes.com/download . Bonus
content, such as digital booklets and iTunes Extras, can’t be shared.
Play music from your iTunes library on iPod touch:
1 In iTunes on your computer, choose File > Home Sharing > Turn On Home Sharing. Log in, then
click Create Home Share.
2 On iPod touch, go to Settings > Music, then log in to Home Sharing using the same Apple ID
and password.
3 In Music, tap More, then tap Shared and choose your computer’s library.
Return to content on iPod touch: Tap Shared and choose My iPod touch.
Music settings
Go to Settings > Music to set options for Music, including:
•
Shake to Shuffle
•
Sound Check (to normalize the volume level of your audio content)
•
Equalization (EQ)
Note: EQ affects all sound output, including the headset jack and AirPlay. EQ settings generally
apply only to music played from the Music app.
The Late Night setting applies to all audio output—video as well as music. Late Night
compresses the dynamic range of the audio output, reducing the volume of loud passages
and increasing the volume of quiet passages. You might want to use this setting when
listening to music on an airplane or in some other noisy environment, for example.
