Is there a way to integrate it at all, even better would be if I could get home sharing working.

Thanks

Not integration as such but I have itunes running in the background and use the remote app on the iPad to control it (TV is off).

Yeah that is how I have it at the moment. Only problem is the wife can't control it with the media center remote.

Do you have itunes load on startup then?

Yip just have it in the start up folder. For some reason even thought the shortcut is set to minimise it loads maximised but I do not restart the MS too often so does not bother me.

We have the music ripped in itunes in ALAC and play it thru the my music in media centre

Takes a few registry hacks and some fiddling.

Doesn't "use" itunes as such tho.
