iTunes Server '[Server name] has no music.'
I've succeeded in copying a family member's iTunes Media folder to a share exclusively for their iTunes media on the RN526X, and I have left their iTunes library files on their Mac, as per Netgear re...
I fixed it! I did some digging around in the logs, and discovered the source of the problem. Turns out it was a file permissions issue. In File Access for the share, I had disabled (unchecked) permissions for Everyone. Once I set it to Read Only or Read/Write, iTunes Server worked. I'm glad it was a simple fix.
Although I wish iTunes Server were smarter about categories: stuff that isn't categorized as music in the family member's library (Podcasts, Audiobooks, etc.) is listed under Music. Oh well, at least I have access to their music from my Mac now! :)
No DRM anywhere.
As the NAS admin I've already given my user account read-only permission on the family member's share. I don't want to copy any of their music to my library, only play it on the NAS from my Mac.
If I can do this without using iTunes Server, won't I have to maintain a separate set of iTunes library files on my Mac?

It wouldn't need to be a separate set of library files. You should be able to add the media to your existing itunes library.
