In reference to this thread: http://forums.macnn.com/104/alternat...-via-bootcamp/

Intresting thread,

I've set up my MBP with OS X 10.5.2 and Vista Ultimate 32-bit via boot camp.
I have iTunes running on both sides but my library file resides on the windows side.
My music lies mostly on my windows side and an external harddrive.
I've installed Paragon NTFS for Mac which allows OS X to read and write to NTFS.

Ok, my OS X iTunes shares the same library file as my windows iTunes.
The only problem is on OS X, iTunes does not recognise the pathway for music stated in the XML file as it doesn't understand where 'C' is. I see Alex_kac says you could write a script to convert pathway names. I need OS X to understand where 'C' or translate 'C' to untitled disk etc. is but i have no idea where to start.

Any ideas?
