Quick q
If I use a hdd on a mac I'm guessing it's formatted to osx and then can't be used on a Windows computer.
Can someone confirm if true and if so suggest how I remove all my data if I now only have a windows computer?
External Hard Drives
Nah you can export your itunes library from the file menu.
On mac i could just move my whole library to another drive then relocate one track and it will find the rest of the library auto, not sure if that will work on pc but it should
It needs to be formatted
FAT32 to work on both
Macintosh OS Extended to work on just mac
NTFS to work on just Windows

but format it for mac, then set up a FAT32 partition so you can use it to transfer between systems (the only setback is that FAT32 does not support files over 4gb)

Pretty much plug n play tbh...though you need to forget about doing anything with it for the first day while it creates the volume etc
Yours has 2x3GB right? you going to have that as one 6GB volume or you going to mirror the disks for redundancy?

there is a synology app that does "Download station" you can set it to monitor a folder n you literally just drag/drop the .torrent files in there and it takes care of the rest. You can set up a default seeding duration/data % for then the downloads complete etc...
The amount of apps available put Synologys above the rest tbh...go to the App Store/Play Store n just feast upon the gloriousness
Holla if you need pointers.
Not sure of your requirements tbh @ local
Nice one ill give you a shout when it comes.
Not sure what route im gonna go, probably just go for the 6tb drive rather than mirror it. Gonna use it for my mac time machhine too
Tut tut tut...thought you was a serious IT person...redundancy should have been the only answer
hahaha
Im only bothered about my music tbh and ill have that stored on bout 4 diff drives ?
Never had a hd problem in all my computing life
You reckon i should be going for redundancy tho?

The NAS thing?
And rookie q, but if I copy everything over from my laptop, for example with iTunes would I have to rescan every song into the library and lose all play counts and ratings or would it just go over the other incumbent files?
