I would like to put my iTunes library onto my timecapsule drive. Right now it is on an external drive that needs to be plugged into my laptop in order to run itunes. Being able to load a network drive and listen to music would free up my laptop. Is this possible?

or plug your drive into the timemachine. that should work just like you could plug into a base station. you might have to get itunes to rebuild your library with the new paths to the files.
