How to share Music with PC machine

Hi all,
I have got a PC at work that ran iTunes and played songs that were shared on my old PC Laptop. I would like to do the same thing with my MBP but I haven't got a clue how to share folders or how to view shared mac folders on an XP machine. Can someone please advise?
Many Thanks!

It is not possible.. the TC is not a media player.
You must have a computer acting as itunes server.. although there is no such thing. Apple call it home share.

It is possible to store the itunes library on the TC but that makes no difference .. you still need a computer of some sort turned on to play it.

    can anyone help?
    i have an ipod touch with lot sof music on already, i just bought a new iphone and have registered it to the same account, however only the applications sync to the iphone and the music doesnt sync.

    Whatever is in your iTunes Library can be synced with either or both devices.
    Have you gone through all the tabs in iTunes with your iPhone selected under "devices" and checked off the selections you want?

    how do i share music with 2 iphones using the same apple id?

    Sync them both to the same iTunes music library.  You can also automatically download purchased music to both by going to Settings>iTunes & App Stores and turning Music to On under Automatic Downloads.  If you music is in multiple computers, you can enable Home sharing to share your music library across multiple devices (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3819).

    iTunes: How to share music between different user accounts ...

  • In trying to share music with multiple user accounts on one comp, I quit itunes, located my itunes media folder, moved it to a publicly accessible location. Problem is it didn't work and now I can't get it all back to the way it was.

    In trying to share music with multiple users on one computer, I followed the directions on "iTunes:How to share music between different accounts on a single computer" (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1203). I did something wrong because i lost iTunes
    Tried to put files back, but it is not the same. Plugged in my ipod and it is not recognizing my computer.
    Can someone tell me where iTunes should be, and what sub files should be included with it. Thanks!

    If you are seeing the "Connect to iTunes" logo, then your device is in Recovery Mode, and you will need to restore it:

  • HT1203 iTunes: How to share music between different accounts on a single computer - I tried to use the instructions to configure 2 different windows users sharing the same iTunes library.  I could not get this to work per the instructions.

    I tried to configure 2 windows users accounts using a single library per the instructions in HT1203.  My iTunes library is on an external drive.  I cannot get this to work.  Any suggestions?

    To give other users read-only access to your iTunes library, use the Sharing features of iTunes. Sharing works over the local network as well as on the same computer. See the built-in help for details.
    If you want to give full read/write access to more than one user, see the support article linked below.

    There is a way to share the library without moving it to a secondary volume. If you really need to do that, ask for instructions.

  • How to Share music between two libraries / Apple ID's?

    So my boyfriend and I have moved in together and will soon be utilizing the same computer. I have an Apple ID and music library, he has an Apple ID and music library. I would like to create a separate login to the computer so we can still keep our separate ID's / libraries for syncing purposes (making sure we each have our own Calendars, Contacts, Photos, etc...) but would like to Share music with one another and be able to add it to our iPhone's without having to buy or download it twice.
    A couple of things below
    What's the easiest way to transfer all of my current information to his computer? External hard drive?
    What's the easiest way to share music and / or apps while keeping individual Apple ID's?
    Will the Home Sharing option work here?
    OR, will we have to create a new Apple ID, transfer our information to that new ID, and create two separate libraries off of that?
    Any and all advice is appreciated. Trying to make this as easy and painless as possible

    Thanks so much identd! So with that first option, we won't have to double download the music correct? I just want to make sure it's not taking up too much space on our computer either. It will always be updated b/c the iTunes library folder's will be public now correct?
