Hello!

I recently setup an NAS for all my movies and documents to be accessed across all the computers and connections in my house but I'm still not clear on iTunes.

I want to access the music everywhere, on every computer but have some questions about it.

*****

Do I copy the entire library (music, movies, tv, apps, books) or just the music itself?

Can I play music from two computers simultaneously? Or is it only one computer at a time?

What's the best method of setting it up? Is it where you have the "shared" NAS in the sidebar, or the one that imports music?

Does anyone have a good walkthrough? I've read through tonnes of instructions, but each varies and I'm just confused on the best option.

In spite of all those questions, here is what I intend to do and see if it is possible.

I want to be able to have multiple users playing music, accessing it at the same time. I want them to be able to sync iPhones, iPads, other devices at the same time.

I don't want to have to make users exit when another person wants access - that is just counterproductive.
