Reader Jason Enns would like to streamline his media acquisition workflow. He writes:</p>

I know you’re a fan of the Mac mini media center (http://www.macworld.com/article/2034670/the-computer-in-the-living-room-setting-up-a-mac-mini-media-center.html) and I’ve tried to follow your example. The problem is, the computer I use to rip DVDs is in my basement office and my media center Mac is upstairs. I know I can copy files from one to the other via file sharing but I’d love a way for movies I rip to be automatically added to the mini’s iTunes library. Any suggestions?

Do as I do and follow along.</p><p>
On the Mac mini media server, launch System Preferences, select Sharing, and enable both Screen Sharing and File Sharing. Now move to the Mac where you rip your DVDs.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2457719/how-to-automatically-add-movies-to-your-mac-media-server.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
