eta: If I could get rid of that typo above I would wink

Howdy folks, here's a list of kit that I have. I want to know the best iPhone/iTunes setup given that I want to access iTunes from a fixed PC, laptop, TV via media stremer (iomaga).

My kit is like this:
PC with 2 250GB SATA drives, connected to hub, connected to router
Laptop, connected to router via WiFi
Iomega 500GB HD with hdmi link to telly, can see shares or house music files

Plan:
PC with Windows 7
Laptop with Vista
iTunes for me on PC and Laptop
iTunes for Wifey on PC and Laptop
All music files stored on the Network Attached Iomega Drive, seen by PC as share (use a boring old copy to backup from NAS to second PC SATA drive)
All pictures/videos/documents stored on NAS as primary storage, backed up to SATA disk in PC.

So Qs:
Can I have an iTunes a/c on PC AND laptop, both pointing to my music files on NAS?
Better use of HW? Recommendations?


Thanks

I don;t think I would point all of the iTunes stuff at the library. Just do one, and use home sharing for the others. That will allow you to import stuff to the other computers should you feel the urge to.
