Sharing iPhoto and iTunes libraries with Windows guest

Post by lambchops88 »

Basically, these files are all I want Windows to be able to access from the Mac - how do I easily achieve this?

Either share them through shared folders or samba (SMB). The exact sharing of the database is up to you, that's not discussed here on this forum, it's off-topic. There are plenty of hints on the internet that show you how to share your iTunes library between Mac and Windows. If it's even possible.
