    If you just want to share your music in iTunes, install iTunes on both PCs.

    Now, some tweaking of settings. I don't have access to the program at the moment, so this is off the top of my head. Open preferences unde the Edit menu and click on the Sharing tab. Tick the box beside 'Share my music' and any other options that suite. You can even give it a name. This name will appear as a folder on other PCs running iTunes. You'll be reminded that sharing is for personal use and all that.

    Do the same on any other PCs. Of course, the PC/Mac has to be on in order to listen to any music on its hard drive.

    A firewall may block this from working but you can edit settings for iTunes. Allow it to act as a server.

    Running iTunes on both the PC and Mac will allow you to share the music. Both stations MUST be on the same home network though. It wont work if they are simply just using the same internet connection. I had this problem and after some research found that I had to set up a home network and connect both PCs to it. Simple in the end.
