What of collections, meticulously recorded and converted into files that otherwise do play on iTunes, but questionably on home sharing? Must songs be purchased at iTunes to use homes sharing?
iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10.4), 8 gigabytes ram, tetrabyte storage
No, you can use home sharing to stream music from other sources (copied from CDs, bought from other sites) to your other computers / iOS devices - they just need to be in the computer's iTunes library that you want to share from, home sharing needs to be enabled via the same account on the computers/devices, and the computers/devices need to be connected to the same wifi network.

I appreciate your detailed answer. I have too many pages open for lack of some detail, so to read that results can be had with more intent focus is encouraging at this time. Thank You!
Somewhat later. I still haven't used homesharing, of course a detriment to learning.
To access my CDs I have to add a disc drive. Just surprised on finding a disc drive
removed from iMac (2013) and I have been a hold out. Can't imagine what developed
in order to replace that function.
Sensing discontent, sales offered a disc drive at half price, reneging the next day.
However, my responsibility in tying loose ends is regrettably short on foresight.
Should have be obvious to me to go with the flow or back to the CD option on an
dated stereo. I appreciate your sorting out and responding to (what seemed to me) an issue
with progress.
The usual answer is, 'to make iMac look sexy', which is a runaround. More to do with
crimping trades between friends or whatnot. The update was a surprise, and only the
result of a theft. I'd have kept 10.4 and wait until ready for purchasing anew.
