Not exactly an orcon issue but well i ended up in this forum

Orcon genius lite.

Wifey has 10yr old laptop with fairly small hd we have around 20 - 30gb of music, i was thinking stick it on an external harddrive and plug it into the Genius (and yes after reading this thread http://www.geekzone.co.nz/forums.asp?forumid=82&topicid=87731 I realise it needs to be an externally powered harddrive) so we all have access to it.

My question is this what are access times like the laptop is wired to the genius
And will it play nicely with iTunes, and i don't want to hear "apple sux, don't use crapple stuff", itunes has Genius mix, and quite frankly its brilliant 90% of the time.
