Transferring songs from iTunes to Time Capsule

My partner is a DJ and I have finally convinced him that my poor Acer laptop can no longer hold his excessively large collection of music that he uses to burn CDs required for his various gigs. He has agreed that we finally need to upgrade and look at getting an iMac. (yay!)

My question is, would the time capsule allow me to save all of our iTunes music files onto it to store, rather than store them on the PC? When he requires the songs, will the TC then allow him to stream relatively uninterupted back to the iMac for burning/listening/mixing?

I'm hoping to be able to get his music collection seperate storage to my basic music collection, and allowing me to keep the space on the iMac free for my photography etc.

Can i use TC to back-up a chosen handful or 1 specific file/folder rather than my entire system?

Eg. If when using Final cut;

I want to save my raw (original) video footage to only 1 hard drive & 1 Time capsule, my music files to another hard drive and another Time capsule; and then completed project to yet another hard drive & tome capsule.

Thats 3 hard drives & 3 Time capsules.

Can I retrieve specific files from Time Capsule?

I would like to use Time Capsule as an automated backup system but also store files (drawings, MS Office, music, pictures) that I don't want cluttering my Macbook's hard drive but may want to access in the future. Can I do both?
