Move Library to a NAS? ...

I have my iTunes library on my local hard drive. I plan to buy a ReadyNAS Duo soon and want to store my library there so that all my PC's/Laptops on my home network can access my music, videos, podcasts, applications etc.

Should I just copy my C:\My Documents\My Music\iTunes folders to a mapped drive on the NAS, start iTunes using the shift button, and poin it to the new location?

Can the various iTunes handle open files? Any other method to do this?

By the way, ReadyNAS has a firefly iTunes server, but that serves up only music files, AFAIK. Is using that different from using the shares on the NAS as a drive and put the library on it?

I am basically looking for pointers on using a shared library on a NAS (especially any ReadyNAS users).

Thanks.
