Change the default media folder in iTunes settings pointing to network hard drive. 2. Alternatively, you can create a shortcut to your iTunes/Music folder pointing to network hard drive. E.g. if you want to store only podcasts on network hard drive, move Podcast folder to the network hard drive and create a shortcut called Podcasts to iTunes/Music which links the folder to the network hard drive. @Peter: You can get music files stored on network hard drive visible in iTunes in two ways.

I prefer using my mouse with iTunes if I want e.g. to quickly skip the commercials. For music playback, the reason is obvious, I do not like to be limited simply watching the album art while listening to music.

It is interesting that you do not use FrontRow, but iTunes on your Mac for movies. Wouldn't that be easier to watch on TV? Thanks for this post!
