I was wondering if there is a simple solution to the following situation...

I have my iTunes library on my main OS X drive (Lion) but play the Windows Eve client using Boot Camp and Windows 7 on its own drive. I would like to point the Windows Eve client Jukebox to either my OS X iTunes library or alternatively a second instance of it on my Boot Camp drive.

Any workaround to achieve this?

you need your windows to support read/write on HFS+ (mac filesystem)

i just use itunes for windows and point it to my OSX's music folder. media hotkeys on keyboard to change track.

I could be wrong, but I'm using Lion and windows 7.

Pretty sure boot camp now provides windows an HFS+ driver, at least I'm able to access my OSX installs from windows

Your other issue however is what format are your songs in?

Pretty sure the EVE client only recognises MP3's and not ACC format that iTunes uses

Apologies for missing the replies here.

Yes, I have found I can see the OS X iTunes directory from the Windows 7 drive and the files are all in .m4a format. I will have a look at getting iTunes on the Windows drive and see if I can point it to the OS X library.

Thanks.

Yes it does. Just install boot camp.

As I stated, I am already using Boot Camp.
