[QUOTE="mrplow, post: 1372492, member: 38928"] The Mac SHOULDN'T see the files on the NAS in iTunes if the Home Sharing model is followed. 1. The NAS holds the media (ie media folder copied onto NAS). 2. The PC has iTunes installed which uses the library settings/index files (these are the .itl and .xml files) to control/manage the media on the NAS and shares out the library across the network using Home Sharing 3. Every other device, that wants access to the media, connects to the PC via Home Sharing. 4. No device should want or need to connect directly to the NAS except the PC that's controlling/running the iTunes library. A setup like this will (as per my earlier post) solve the scenario described in your first post. [/QUOTE]
