I'm using Win2k on VPC and I've got a PB with 10.2.8.
I'd like for my Windows iTunes to be able to see my iTunes library, but I can't figure out how to do it. Are these two OSes networked? Can I network them?
Thanks,
Jason

Just launch the Mac and PC iTunes and they will discover each other with rendezvous. Playing in VPC seems to be quite choppy (and pointless), so why would you want to do it

Yes, it's rather pointless, but I still want to do it.
I can't get them to discover each other. Can you give me a step-by-step?
Thanks,
Jason

There's no trick to it except using shared networking in VPC i think.

I would think it would be even easier to share the iTunes music folder with the PC and tell PC iTunes to use that drive for it's library.
To make the network thing work you need to setup Virtual Switch networking - that way both instances of iTunes can open the same socket.
