I have Boot Camp setup on my 15" MBP. All of my music files are on the Mac OSX side and I use Windows 7 on Boot Camp. The partition I set for Windows 7 is quite small however I still wanted to be able to play my music which is on my Macintosh HD. In the Windows 7 partition for Boot Camp, I pointed iTunes to read from the Mac HD where the music is however it won't sync/play. I see that, while in Mac OSX you can read files in the Windows drive. Can you not do this is reverse? Is there some way I can get my Windows 7 to read from the Mac HD to access my music without having to copy all the music onto both hard drives?

Google NTFS bootcamp partition formatting.
