[QUOTE="vicariousgeorge, post: 497105, member: 27241"] I have a large music collection, and I want to sync it with my Macbook and PC. Here is my plan: Right now I have the same library on each computer. While this isn't a big deal on my PC (400GB HDD), this is an issue on my Macbook (80GB, and filling up fast). I also have a 500GB MY BOOK external drive that is connected to my network via an Airport Extreme router (NAS). I plan on copying all my music/media etc. files to one folder on the network drive. Then, I plan on deleting everything on the 2 computers. Next, I am going to set up each iTunes library so that the files are added from the network drive WITHOUT copying to the iTunes folder on each computer. I think this will work, and both computers should have the exact same library. I have one question though - can I set up iTunes so that the libraries will automatically update themselves when I add a new song to the networked folder? Will this all work? Thanks [/QUOTE]
