Share single iTunes library across multiple computers

Share single iTunes library across multiple computers

I have a large (> 2TB) iTunes library of music and videos that I keep on a Drobo connected to an Airport Extreme base station so that I can access it wirelessly from my MacBook. This works great for just me, but with my soon-to-be wife about to move in with her own iTunes library and MacBook, I would like to consolidate our libraries and continue to keep it on the Drobo, since it keeps everything (more-or-less) safely backed up. I would like my wife and I to be able to share the same iTunes library.

"You can sort of do this with limitations. The Apple Blog has an article here: http://theappleblog.com/2008/10/13/one-itunes-library-on-multiple-computers/

It uses file sharing, so not sure how well it deal with adding to the library from the different machines."

"If you had the Mac mini already, you could use Simplify Media to access it from both of the other computers.

That also lets you stream the music to an iPhone as well."
