Where is the iTunes server in the 3.00.07F version?? There isn't an iTunes section in the left navbar and no way to configure the service. You can turn on/off Bonjour (iTunes broadcast) but no other settings.
Your documentation is the worst I have ever seen.

The iTunes streaming server will allow you to stream your music from the ReadyNas to any computer in your house that has iTunes, and other music streaming players such as Sonos and Roku SoundBridge. To do this we utilize the Firefly streaming server which will scan your ReadyNas for music files and will transcode the files to a proper format for iTunes to play them. Firefly will also allow you to create smart playlists by screening your files by multiple categories such as artist, genre, year, and even track number.
1. To enable the iTunes server in FrontView you will need to navigate to Services à Streaming Services and check the box to enable iTunes streaming server and click apply.
2. Next you will need to click on the link that appears in the iTunes Streaming server section, this will take you directly to the Firefly control panel.

3. Select the configuration tab in the Firefly control panel. Here you can select which folder you have your music stored, the name of the iTunes server and provide password protection if needed. Also in the Database section you can select how often you would like to run the media scan and how aggressive a scan you would like to run. The different levels of the scan intensity will determine how much resources the scan will take up and how long the scan will take.

Is this just a official title for the act of moving your iTunes folder from your hard drive to a network share or is there an actual interactive application running on the NAS that provides the holy grail of iTunes capability: the ability to maintain one iTunes library in one location (the NAS) from several computers? Apple TV 2 and want to stream directly from my iTunes on QNAP TS-459 PRO. I have never used iTunes on my QNAP before but have used a local iTunes library on my computer and accessing media on the QNAP..
