Time capsule questions

[ValkXB70]

Hi all, need some advice/info again. To begin with I have a MacBook air, iPad (16gb wifi), and roughly 250gb of iTunes media content. Currently I have all my iTunes media stored on an external seagate drive I carry around with my MacBook.

I have been thinking of picking up the 2Tb time capsule and locating my iTunes media onto that. However I am curious, if I do that will I be able to access my iTunes media when I'm away from home?

i think you can access u're files on ure time capsule over mobileme

not sure on setting this up as u're itunes library will need to be informed that it no longer in the same room as u're TC and to use MM to acces the files

will be keepin a tab on this thread as i have my TC on order and should be arriving early next wk

I don't know the answer to your question, but if you do move your iTunes media onto a Time Capsule, I'm pretty sure that it won't be backed up by Time Machine. You'll have to come up with another backup plan for anything stored on the Time Capsule itself.
