Do you prefer to store your library on Mac or PC
Which OS do you prefer to store your music collection?

I think you meant "Windows" vs "Mac OS" - PC is not an OS, and Mac OS technically runs on a PC. (Sorry, just a pet peeve of mine - Ubuntu user).
I would probably be a Mac OS user, if I could afford it.  As is, it's a large EXT3 formatted hard drive dedicated just for music and a backup USB EXT3 formatted external drive that I don't use as much as I should.

If I understand the question, I keep my library on a Mac mostly in itunes with Apple lossless. It's easy convenient etc.
I also use Korg MR 1000 as my portable source from time to time and I keep that library of files (mostly DSDIFF) on my PC.

Sorry, but I don't really understand the poll.
Mac are a computer made by Apple, so that one is sort of ok. Guessing that you mean Mac OS X.
But what is this "PC"? It stands for Personal Computer, which means a computer for personal use. In short any computer, regardless if its made by Apple, Dell, IBM, ... and running Mac OS X, MS Windows, GNU/Linux, ...
Anyway. I prefer Mac OS X, on my PC (MacBook Pro).

It's acceptable to call non-mac computers a "PC". It's understandable.

You don't happen to be running MS Windows do you? Cause iTunes on MS Windows is a whole different story than the Mac OS X one...

My FLAC files are kept on an external, wirelessly networked HD which can be and is accessed by all my networked machines. I have two Macs and 2 PCs running Linux. No Windows boxes on the network.....thankfully.

PC (well Windows laptop). Just use standard subfolder structure for MP3s rather than any particular library application.

I-Tunes on a Mac for the last couple of years in lossless so far so good.

In your world maybe... But in my world a Mac is a PC ( Personal Computer) as well.
Either way. Mac <-> PC say nothing about the operating systems, since all of them are able to run the most used ones... Like MS Windows, Mac OS X and GNU/Linux
