Can Time Capsule be used as an effective media aggregate away from the base station?

I am buying a MacBook Air but can't get enough space on a SSD to hold my entire iTunes and iPhoto libraries. I am looking at using the Time Capsule to actually store my iTunes and iPhoto libraries. I want to be able to access them from anywhere I have access to the internet. I read somewhere that you can use Time Capsule to access your files from anywhere as long as it's on and you're online.

1. Am I understanding right? If I'm away from my house on WiFi can I access the files on my Time Capsule?

2. If so, would I be able to stream my iTunes and iPhoto library so that I wouldn't have to store terabytes worth of data on an impossibly expensive solid state Air drive?

I could always buy a mobile external drive, but I really don't want to lug something else around and I want to be able to share it with the other computers on my network (namely, my husband's MBP.)

Thanks! :)

Using time capsule as an external Itunes medium

I am currently using my Macbook Air, with an external 2TB hard drive to store my itunes data on (I have about 750 Gb of itunes media). I am able to use this to watch my itunes media on my apple TV. What I am thinking of doing is have the itunes library directed to the Time Capsule, now will I still be able to watch the content on my Macbook air and Apple TV?

Can an old Time Capsule be used as Hard Drive for media files so I can get a new TC for backup?

As I have gotten into editing and archiving family video, I have filled up my iMac's memory and my Time Capsule is also full. Can I "empty" the backup data from my original TC and direct my iTunes media to be stored there and then buy a new TC with more memory to resume by backups?

If I do this, will all my media still be "visible" to AppleTV so I can still access it via AppleTV and be able to stream it to my entertainment system?

If so, how do I remove all the backup data from the original TC?

Bridging the Time Capsule but using it as a WIFI access point and use with Windows Server 2008 for serving the IP addresses in my WAN. Can it be done?

I would like to use this device in my office environment. We have been moving form PC to MAC and loving every min. My current set up is this, MODEM (bridged) connected to WIFI - DLINK router connected to WINDOWS Server (which is serving up the IP address within my WAN).

Can I replace my DLINK with the Time Capsule to achieve the same results. Using the server to serve the IP address and the Time Capsule to use as a WIFI access point and the back up drive of course.

Regards

Can I use Time Capsule as 1) NAS and / or 2) iTunes server?

So I have a few devices which access the network at home:

- MacBook Pro
- MacBook Air
- iPad 2
- iPhone 4
- Apple TV
- Samsung internet-connected TV
- Playstation 3
- Xbox 360

I'm trying to decide on a single device which can act as an NAS, a single depository for files, and as an iTunes server to use primarily with Apple TV but certainly not limited to this.

Can the Time Capsule function as both, in addition to being the Time Machine back up machine? Neither? Maybe one? No one seems to have a clear answer on this.

Frankly, if it does only Time Machine back ups, I'll be looking elsewhere.
