[iTunes] Re: Sharing iTunes Library between Windows & Mac

[Ronald Claiborne]

Henri,

	I have an external drive on my Mac Mini. I had all sorts of problems
at first when it was NTFS formatted because OS 10.4 still chokes up on NTFS
a bit. If you are using a small enough drive, you might be able to format in
FAT or FAT32 and not have the problem.

	You would actually only be sharing the files. However, your question
is a bit unclear, you could share out the library over the network if you
are on the same subnet. Is this the case? You wouldn't need to do file
sharing. I cant tell from your question if you are considering actually
physically moving the drive. A simple share of the library of the Mac on the
same subnet doesn't require any special tools. I do this on the five
machines at home.

About 30 gigs of tunes in a Mac version of iTunes, mostly AAC files. 
I'd like to have the library on an external drive that my wife's Windows
computer can share with my Mac.

How do I do it?
