This works well for my normal iTunes library - all the files show up, whether I've purchased them from Apple or scanned them in from CD.

I've been playing with the Apple Music service, and files I've added to my library through that don't show up via MinimServer.

They're stored in a separate folder from the rest of the iTunes library, but I've added that to the MinimServer settings.

As far as I can see, the purchased or scanned iTunes files are stored as .m4a files, whereas the Apple Music files are .m4p.

Has anyone else got this to work, or does MinimServer not currently able to support .m4p?

Many thanks

You should know that music file encoded with .M4P are protected with DRM protection. So it is limited to playback on up to 5 authorized computer and iOS devices. You must convert the protected M4P to other DRM-free formats like MP3. Thus to transfer the M4P files to MinimServer.
