I recently did the same thing and have, wanted to get some Mac experience. So here is what I did... I set up SlimServer on the Mac and have put my music library, which I rip to both Apple Lossless(M4a) and Flac, on NAS. Depending on what machine I rip on, Windows or Mac, I use DBPoweramp to convert to the other format. Since the libraries are on NAS, I can access them from ant machine on my network.
The 2 issues that I have found are: 1)The music directory on the network folder has to be mapped before Itunes starts otherwise it will repoint your Itunes library to the default location and you lose access to your music until you have reset it. 2)Itunes will not play high-res formats to the TP or SB. Since I am in the process of converting vinyl to 24/96 and have started downloading high-res formats from musicgiants I use the FLAC library for my Slim setup. Also, since I am not a Mac guy, I start slim on login and make have a process to automount the shared folder at login... If I could only figure out how to automount on startup, I'd be golden...
