Quick question here, I just bought a 20" iMac last week and trying to organize stuff.

I have a media center HTPC in my living room, it has my 70+ gig worth of music + tons of family photos, my question is can Front Row access them?

The easy solution is simple, I have an external hard drive mirroring all of my music/photos, I could just drop them into my iMac but that just means having to manually add new music files each time I get a new cd or family photos which is what I'm trying to avoid.

I'm sure I can share MyMusic folder on my HTPC with Front Row right, should I just go into Itunes and tell it to look for my library on my xp machine (is it that simple?) and do the same thing with MyPhotos too (where would I set that preference?).

I guess I should probably figure out how to share folders between XP and OS X first then take it from there huh?

Thanks,

Mike
