Here's a short followup to what I wrote about using iTunes over AirDisk a while back.
I've gotten a few questions about how I dealt with the second computer in the equation (i.e., Katia's machine) once I had successfully moved everything on my laptop to the AirDisk. Here's what I did:
- Opened iTunes on Katia's computer, changed the Music Location to the library on the AirDisk, quit iTunes
- Copied the ~/Music/iTunes directory from my machine to Katia's
- Opened iTunes
Now, this created an exact duplicate setup on Katia's computer that I have on mine. At least initially. Once she starts changing things, she can create her own playlists and it won't affect mine because iTunes stores this information locally. We're only sharing the actual content files on the server. But this is a good way to get both machines having the same data.
