How do I move my iTunes music library off my computer and onto Time Capsule, which I want to use as an external hard drive?

Does anyone know how I can move my very large iTunes music library folder off the computer and onto my fourth generation time capsule, which I'd like to use as an external hard drive?

Time Capsule 4th generation-OTHER, Mac OS X (10.7.5)

This Apple support document may help.

Do you also plan to use the Time Capsule disk for Time Machine backups? If so, that approach has problems. For one, you don't be backing up your music library. For another, eventually Time Machine will consume all the space on that disk, which will cause problems for your music.
