Redo-ing my entire TV/Media/Time Machine/WIFI/Home Theater setup. Yay to being single with no GF/Wifey to nag me about my spending! :D I have a few questions though.

I just got my WD My Book 2TB and HD TV and planning to get the AEBS, WD TV, and Onkyo home theater.

1) I was planning to partition 500gb for Time Machine and the rest of the 2TB for my iTunes library and other media which will be linked to the WD TV then to the HDTV. My main concern is, will the AEBS recognize both partitions?

2) Not as important, will the WD TV recognize my music in the iTunes library and its various folders?

3) My new TV has 4 HDMI inputs so running out of inputs wont be a problem with me and my set up. I dont watch TV programing much and i have the most basic TV service using the standard coaxial cable from the wall; no set top box with HDMI output. That being said, would it be best to connect all units via HDMI directly to the TV and use a Toslink cable (optical) for the Onkyo home theater?

Sorry for so many questions! Im all gitty like a school girl for my new setup... just needed a few things cleared up.

*edit* One more question!

4) Will the AEBS be able to recognize the two partitions and a printer?
