Hi Alex,
Thank you for the idea. This is probably a bit beyond my
technical ability and time ability. I was actually hoping for a
simple approach. It's really not critical, so unless I find an easy
answer, I can live with just manually copying folders when I have to.
Thanks again
Take Care

Hi,
If all fails, you can "Automagically Sync" the two libraries. I have
never done this under Windows, so you will need to rinkle some
things out. If both music folders have public access, you can use
RSync to copy all the contennts of your ITunes librarry without your
intervention. You basically set the RSync command on the Windows
side to access the Mac and copy all data in the "ITunes" directory
and put it on the Windows computer. Then point ITunes to use the
library to the Library you have just copied. Then you go and creat a
"Cron Job" or a "Shell Script" to run the command at your leasure
with a script or at a specified time with a cron job.
Note: You may need a RSync server installed on the Mac side of
things, and as mentioned above, this is a Unix procedure, so it may
not work for your application.
Thanks for listening,
Alex,

Hmm, I don't think it actually copies.
There is a checkbox in prefs in the advanced tab which allows you
to copy
when you import, but I don't think this is the same thing. I think
you'd
have to check the copy on import checkbox, then somehow
specifically import
the mac library. Incidentally, the mac library should show up in
your
sources list under sharing.
Anyone else have anything to add here? Is there a way to have two
libraries
automagically sync over the network?

Hi Rich,
Okapi, but does this then sync automatically? I checked the
appropriate boxes on either system. So, the Mac side has the shared
my library on the network box checked and the PC has the look for
shared libraries checked.

Is it possible to sync an itunes
library on the PC with my Mac iTunes library?
Yes. Goto preferences with command+comma, then choose the sharing
tab. There
are two checkboxes:
- share my library on the local network
- look for shared libraries
On the mac side, the share library should be checked; on the pc
side, the
look for shared libraries should be checked.
I think the latter is checked by default, and the former is
unchecked by
default.
