iPad Question - iTunes sharing

[punkdISCO]

Hi Andrew etc

working, just need to work 
> out why the other tracks are not showing up.

Ah, this was a red heron.  I am not actually seeing "my" purchased tracks
but rather, I can see my purchase history in my iTunes account and you can
then play a preview so I thought I was playing my local copies (duh!!)

So, in summary, from the iPad I can see zero(!) from my central music
storage.

> this might be an issue - do you have some tracks stored on your PC and
others on the netstore? As
> well as keep "iTunes media folder > organized" and " Copy files to iTunes
media folder when
> adding to library" unchecked in iTunes advanced properties? Etc

I had a play with this.  Thinking it might be just a Netgear storage issue,
I copied 1 album (AC/DC Dirty Deeds [obviously!!]) to a local D drive.  I
had to turn off the usual iTunes "organise" options to allow iTunes to
reference more than one location.  I was kinda expecting the iPad to then
see this one album but it does not..

Interestingly, I just setup a Windows 8 laptop with iTunes Sharing and it
worked instantly...!!  The laptop can see all my central library/playlists
etc..

So, it really is just a iPad issue..

2 days and still searching.....

I love Apple...
