Tricky Question..Media Center, Network Drive, and the 360

Hi All, I was wondering if anyone could help me with the following. I'm running 64-bit Windows 7. So, i have been able to set up Media Center with my Xbox with no problem. Here is my setup... I have all of my music on a network drive. I adjusted the settings to pull music from the network drive through Media Center. All is good. THen I set it up with my xbox, and I can listen to the music through my xbox that is currently sitting on my network drive. All is good. So here is the tricky part. If I would like to listen to my music while playing a game, can I do this with Media Center? In the past, what I did was to have my music library be on my main PC instead of network drive, since it didn't recognize the network drive. Now, with the option of the media center being linked up, I wonder if anyone knows how to listen to tahe music while I play a game?

	What network drive have you got? Many have the ability to share media with the 360 directly. --------
