[QUOTE="Kenta777, post: 960276, member: 131533"] Recently got myself a Macbook Pro and now I wan't to set up my hifi system. I wan't to have a Time Capsule for backing up the Mac and a Western Digital My Book Studio 2Tb in mirroring mode for hosting my music connected through USB to the TC. I'm thinking about setting up the TC-connected raid-drive as my home folder for iTunes but here's the catch. I also need a Pc (girlfriends) to access the music through iTunes. I guess I could set up sharing from my Mac but it would be much network traffic and possible dropouts in the sound playback and I also now how furious she would be when my Mac is turned off and the music is unavailable. The easiest thing here would be to set up her iTunes to have the TC-connected raid-drive as home folder, she has no intention to add music or mess with the setting or anything, just play music from her Pc when I'm not home (terrible taste in music ;) ). So, is this possible? *Connect a WD raid USB drive to Time Capsule and have it as home folder in iTunes on a Pc & Mac? *Are there any known issues? Greetings from a wintery Sweden. /Johan [/QUOTE]
