Automatically import new purchases

I have succesfully set up home sharing on my network but do not see the "“Automatically import new purchases" option under advanced settings. Where is this option or is it not implemented yet.

I am on the latest version of itunes and can successfully see both libraries and drag between them. Both computers are authorized and using the same itunes store account. Why can't I find this option to turn it on?

Mac Book, Mac OS X (10.6.2)

when iTunes on both machines is running, click on the home sharing icon in one of them to bring up the lib for the other machine. at the right bottom, you will see 2 buttons. one would be import and the other settings. click on settings.

I will try that when I get home - Thank you! I wish the "help" was a little more clear on this option, I didn't even look at the bottom of the screen. Thanks again!!!

Thank you! It works now. If the help said something like highlight the shared library and click on the button on the far right bottom labeled "settings" then I would have had no problems whatsoever. Apple Help needs some help!

That's great. I just wish it was included in the itunes application help which only pointed you to the advanced menu. Thanks again.
