What is MCE Tunes? MCE Tunes is a special plug-in developed exclusively for Microsoft Windows Media Center which enables it to play iTunes music (m4a and m4p) files right from the easy-to-use Media Center music navigation interface. No more fumbling with a mouse and keyboard to find the right music to listen to! Simply grab your remote and find all your music - quickly and easily.
What features does my version have? There are three versions of MCE Tunes. Please refer to the feature table for details.
What are the system requirements for MCE Tunes?

• Microsoft Media Center 2005 (with Update Rollup 2 installed from Windows Update) or Vista (32bit or 64bit)
• iTunes Version 6.x, 7.x, or later
• 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

Is MCE Tunes Legal? MCE Tunes does not 'decrypt' any iTunes music and is 100% legal. Your PC must be authorized to play all protected music before you can use MCE Tunes.
How do I use MCE Tunes? Simply install MCE Tunes. After installation, the playlist merging utility will appear. Select how you want your iTunes music merged with your Media Center music library. After you click 'Merge' your music will appear in Media Center. If you constantly add a lot of new iTunes music, an automatic merging option is also provided.
How do I watch my videos? Owners of MCE Tunes Pro edition can watch their Apple videos and TV shows on their PC within Media Center! If you don't own the Pro version, you can buy it now.


Once you have installed MCE Tunes, select the music and video to merge with your Media Center library, then open Media Center. Select ‘More Programs’ (for MCE 2005 users) or ‘Online Media | Program Library’ (for Windows Vista users) from the main Media Center menu, and then select 'iTunes Videos'. The custom interface will load, showing your video files on the left side, and episode information on the right of the screen. Select the video you wish to watch and then sit back and enjoy the show!
Does MCE Tunes work with Media Center Extenders, e.g. XBox 360? If you have a 'Pro' version then you can listen to audio files via a Media Center Extender device such as an XBox 360 (the Sony PlayStation is not supported). Otherwise you need to upgrade now. Note that audio will play on the PC and extender concurrently. Extender support requires Administrator rights. Extender playback of tracks stored on a NAS drive is not always possible.
Is Windows Vista supported? Yes! Please click here for Vista specific instructions regarding extenders (see note above for support requirements).
