I have one single library on my workstation and using iTunes on the workstation to control it. I also have a MacBook which use the same library. However, the two iTunes applications can't use the library at the same time. That is not of any problem for me I use my iTunes library when away from home and if the bandwidth pemits I can listen and watch audio/video. I can as I mentioned also write to the libray. I can use it as if it were a local library. The trick is to use file sharing! // John Stalberg _______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
