Ron, I dont understand…
I have many files in my mt-daapt server, I imported many folder from server to Itunes BUT without copy the remote files in local file.
I made playlists in local with this “remote” library but the other network people could made the same, without my help…For me mt-daapt server is only a big box where the people fish the songs
In my mt-daapt server the music folder is a samba folder and it is usable from all the authorized persons…Why you tell that other people doesn’t manages own playlists? ❓

Right, but as soon as you import them into iTunes, then you are using them like they are a local file. You aren’t using the shared mt-daapd server.
If you do it that way, you don’t need the mt-daapd server — in fact, you aren’t even using it. You are using the files you imported locally.
And that’s fine, it’s just that you don’t need mt-daapd to do that. And in fact, you can’t do what you want to do (individually managed iTunes playlists) with mt-daapd.
