Hi Ferry,
OSX itself can indeed only read from NTFS formated disks, not write to them.
Only through installing NTFS-3G or the commercial Paragons NTFS for Mac OSX gets write access to NTFS.
While there is a way to convert FAT32 to NTFS there is no way for the other direction apart from reformating the disk.
But for 'uploading' the music files you have on that disk you only need read access not write access.
Or do you plan to leave the files on the disk and not put them into the iTunes library ?
Regards
Stefan
