I synch to a pc
She synchs to a Mac

Do I need to pull my music files to her Mac? What's best way to do that?

Thanks
 
Put the music files on a memory stick and move them over to her computer and import them?
 
i've sync'd both my iphone and ipod nano to the same music files on the same PC. i wanted to avoid copying 20gigs of music files to two different pcs.

not sure how that would work with two phones though...
 
The easiest way is to copy them over via something like a USB memory stick, CD/DVD, etc. Then merely import them into her library.

However, if you're able to I would suggest doing this.
Copy ALL of your music, videos, etc. over to your wife's Mac.
Set up a "shared" drive or folder with the Mac as the server. Then 'share' the iTunes folder.

Now on your PC, connect to her shared folder. It will most likely come up as a "drive". Once you do that, make sure you map it as a drive letter for Windows. Then hold down the SHIFT key and double click iTunes. Click "Choose Library" and then point it to the new drive letter.

After this, you will both always share the same library. So if she adds something you'll see it automatically. And the same goes for you.
