It appears that a new layer of DRM interoperability has been added to our digital world. MCE Tunes has been designed specifically to allow users to access their iTunes (m4a and m4p) music library via Windows Media Center’s music interface. Once installed, all one needs to do is specify which folders you would like to share and you’re done – there’s even an automatic update option for when new tracks are added to “shared” folders. The only downside of the $29.99 plugin at this point in time is that it currently does not support Media Center Extenders like the Xbox 360 (a free update will be available once things get worked out, though).
MCE Tunes system requirements:
- Microsoft Media Center 2005 (with Update Rollup 2 installed from Windows Update)
- iTunes Version 6.x or 7.x
- iTunes Music (m4a files) or iTunes Music Store Music (m4p files)
- All iTunes Music Store (m4p) files must be authorized to play on your PC
