iTunes Library access from multiple Vlans(subnets)

We have an iTunes library set up on one VLAN with a 192.168.10.X subnet in the house. There are other VLANs with different subnets that need access to this iTunes library. Technically, would it be possible for devices on these other VLANs to access the library?

Why? This is not really my area of expertise, but surely the entire point of a VLAN is to be functionally equivalent to separate physical networks even when using a single physical network. If you have devices that you want to keep isolated for security reasons, but that need to talk to each other, put them on one VLAN. If you have another set of devices that need to communicate they can go on a second VLAN. Surely all the devices that need access to the iTunes Library should be on the same VLAN as the device hosting the library?
