Hey guys,

I have my macbook set up with Boot Camp and Windows XP, everything works fine, but there is one thing I'd like to know whether you can help me sort out.

I have my iTunes library on the partition that runs Mac OS, and I'd like to play music from it when I'm on WinXP. There is no apparent way of doing this, because the file systems are incompatible, but is it any freeware out there that can make a Mac OS partition become fully available on XP or vice-versa?

I just want to be able to play my music on both sides and just have one library.

I know there are softwares that can make Mac OS compatible with the NTFS file system, but would it be possible to do what I have told you?

Thanks in advance,

I use this to share files on my iMac, it's not particularly cheap but it works. I've never actually tried using iTunes with it but everything else works so can't see why it wouldn't.

Thank you very much, it has worked perfectly!

All my music in just one place and playable by both OS's!
