Do people have a preferred way of these two working in harmony?

personally, I can't stand iTunes so know little about it but as an IT
manager I've introduced a fair amount people into the world of
slimservers and slimboxes.  Later, they have gone ahead and installed
iTunes and are now complaining that they can't see songs where they
want them to be etc etc.

So is there a preferred way of setting this up or some best practise
guide for using iTunes and Slimserver together?

I've bought a NAS for the guy, which runs slimserver and now I've got
to think how I'm going to set this up.

My initial thought is map iTunes to a network drive on the NAS and
import all the existing mp3's (about 10000) he's using on his
slimserver to the network drive and make that iTunes library and the
area that slimserver scans.  This should mean in the future when he
rip's CD's they go directly into the slimserver area and are rescanned
- but does iTune's rip to mp3?

Also, he's downloaded loads of stuff from iTunes itself and I know
these arn't mp3, so how do people deal with stuff they've downloaded
from iTune's if they want it in their slimserver library?
