Share iTunes library with OS X and Windows via a server After some trial-and-error research, I finally managed to move my iTunes library from my MacBook to a Linux file server, and to also use it from Windows machines. I wanted to be able to manage my library from all the computers on my network, so the iTunes sharing option was not enough.

By the time next year’s Super Bowl rolls around, advertisers—poring over social media analytics of their ads—are likely to replace less-liked versions of ads with better-rated ones as the game goes on.
