I currently have all of my iTunes files on an external WD Mybook 1TB drive. I plug it into my MacBook Pro when I want to listen to music and, as a result, usually can't be arsed so load up Spotify or YouTube instead. I thought it would be easy to de-auth my MB Pro and just plug the drive into the PC but unfortunately, the drive was formatted by the Mac and the files aren't visible in Windows 8. I don't think I could disregard iTunes altogether as I have an iPad, Touch and a couple of Nanos but I do want to move my files to the PC to take advantage of the Zune Software which, well, looks really nice. What would you suggest to be the easiest way of moving 1TBs worth of files to my PC please? Thanks in advance, Ian
only options i can think of are: Copy it to the Mac, then format the external to something readable by windows Copy/Share it over the network using SMB Use Home Sharing in iTunes [Re-]Download any iTunes purchases on the PC [obviously only works for stuff bought off itunes]
Macdrive for the Windows PC. Chances are it's HFS or HFS Journaled (I can never remember what Macs use these days..), which Windows won't natively read. MacDrive should do the trick - I use it for just that.
