Still, that's 50GB of SSD space that would be taken up by files which, frankly, don't particularly benefit from being on an SSD. As iTunes libraries go, mine's middle of the road-about 50GB, made up of a mixture of music, audiobooks, and iOS apps but lacking movies, TV, and podcasts. Why would you want to do this? The reason that pushed me down this path is solid state disks. It's not the house iTunes server we wish we had, but it does get your data off of your computer's local hard disk drive. However, it is relatively easy to take your iTunes library and simply move it to a NAS. One of its more frustrating aspects is its lack of an officially supported server component-Apple seems stubbornly unwilling to provide a real iTunes server, and so folks who would otherwise happily centrally locate a media library on a perfectly suitable NAS are stuck with islands of music.īuilding a central multi-user iTunes server that works consistently and well- that's also easy to configure and maintain without needing remote administration tools or command line hackery-is annoyingly difficult. Sometimes slow, sometimes crashy, and perpetually gaining features, it's the app we use every day but rarely with any joy. It's never been the best at any particular thing (except perhaps activating and syncing your iPhone or iPad, where it's the only official game in town), but it certainly does a lot of stuff. ITunes is something a whole lot of folks tolerate. ![]()
