I had to move the music all to the server for backup purposes but I'd rather use iTunes on my PC, that has been configured with all my playlists, ratings and ID tags where as having to use it on the server means that I have to install iTunes, create a new library (Apple don't make it easy to manage one playlist from multiple machines, or so my experience has been) and then import all the music into that. Presently my music collection is around 39Gb in size this is combined music from both myself and my wife that we've either got the CD's for or have purchased electronically from iTunes or other services. I know there are duplicates in our collections but I really can't fathom sorting through them at the moment :) And my 64-bit machine is my primary one, it holds all my development environment(s) and, of course, my music collection.

That way you can fill your iPod with your current playlist for example, while biding your time for Apple. Wouldn't that be more simple than transferring all your media to the one machine? I'm guessing you use your 64bit PC to run more than just your iPod. Just my 2 cents....
