this is a way to use your itunes library without importing it in the music data base of xbmc, you will havr access to your itunes library, your playlists and so on.
1) download the last nighty build of Firefly, a daap open-source media server :
here
2) install firefly (double click on firefly.prefpane) and change manually the port to 3689, don't enter any password, launch firefly server
3) two solutions :
a) open source.xml in your_user/library/Application Support/XBMC/UserData and type in your music section :
<source>
<name>whatever you want</name>
<path>daap://your_IP:3689/</path>
</source>
b) open xbmc, go to music and click on "add source", "browse", "add network location" and then :
protocol : Itunes music share (daap)
server adress : your_ip
then click on "ok"
