So you want a NAS (Network Attached Storage) setup. Well the easiest way you be to buy the new Airport Extreme. Now the problem you are going to run into is that to share with a PC and Mac the hard drive must be formatted FAT32. However FAT32 has a 4G file size limit. Well there are several ways around this. I will list two different ways to share the wireless hard disk fully on a Mac AND a PC.
1. On the wireless shared drive format i in the propriety closed Windows NTFS file format. Then in OS X download and install the bleeding edge program packages from NTFS-3G and hope everything you do works.
2. Make the Windows box bend to OS X instead. Format the drive for OS X Extended (Native OS X format[/url] and then download Macdrive on the PC. This way Windows can read/write to OS X native (even with long file names) and the PC will see OS X format like any other drive.
These ways of sharing the disk are several different ways to share a disk. Then In every iTunes just go to the preferences and point the iTunes Library to the wireless hard drive.
