There are so many questions I'd have to ask...like, do you have playlists set up in your iTunes? I have to play with this a little because I haven't found a device that has been good about recognizing playlists and genres. Still very buggy. Check back...I'll write a blog about it once I figure it out. It'll take some set up I'm sure. Let me know if you find any solutions or if Twonky works for you! Have you tried TwonkyMedia Manager?

The Samsung plasma TV is on the network, and using some incredibly crummy Samsung software (PC Share Manager) I can play any song I want...but I have to scroll through thousands to get to it! I need an interface like iTunes that will allow me to easily control playback from the TV. Any ideas? Thanks.

Did you set up the home sharing on the other computer (the little house for the computer you want)? 2. are all the computers you want to see on the same account? 3. Is the other computer turned on and iTunes is open (has to be open). Also, if the other computer has another account, have you clicked on one of the songs/movies/apps from that other account and put in the user name and password for that other account? You have to go to each computer and set up home sharing as I described to get them all to share and talk to each other. You can't even receive the other computers if all computers aren't on the same home share. Could be a couple of things. 1.
