Say I have a Mac in my home office that holds all of my iTunes songs. If I had an iMac to the network, and share the iTunes library on the office-Mac, will Front Row be able to see and play those shared tracks?

I'm sure someone's tried this, but I haven't seen any mention of it yet. Thanks.

No: The biggest drawback is that music from other instances of iTunes on your network will not appear in Front Row. That's a disappointment for me, because all of my music lives on a single machine and is accessed on other machines via the shared library feature of iTunes.

Thanks. That was my guess, but I hadn't seen anything firm on this. Front Row's got a long way to go...
