Sync Mac Library with Windows Library?
avpman:
I've searched the posts and I probably looked right at the answer but didn't "see" it. ::) Can a Mac version of MC sync (automatically or manually) with a Windows library? Specifically, my main library will reside on the Windows machine. That's where all the ripping will be done also. I'll only be using the Mac version generally when the Windows PC is offline. The Mac-Mini will stay on 24/7 and I'll only be using it to stream to other PC's, Tablets, etc when the main Windows PC is offline. The MAC won't be ripping anything and I don't plan, at this point, to have a need to write to the main Windows library from the Mac.
I hope I was clear and didn't ask a question that's already been answered. Thanks for any information you can provide.
Side question: I've not yet bought my Mac-Mini. I don't want to spend $600 on the new model. Any tips for system requirements (ram, cpu speed, etc) for one of the older models would be appreciated.

As long as the Mini can see the Windows drive it's not a problem.

Thank you but that's not what I'm trying to do.
I want to sync the libraries to each other. I don't want the Mac-Mini importing anything. Right now I sync the library from my main PC to my Windows laptop. That's what I want to do with the Mac Mini as well. Sync the library from the main PC to the Mac.

I'm not sure what you mean by "sync"(?). Are you simply pointing your Windows computers at the same MC library folder and hoping they play well together? If that's working for you, why not do the same with your Mac Mini? Or, are you wanting your main PC to stream media to your Mini?
