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

So, resetting Paragon NTFS for Mac trial period is not our best choice to read and write to NTFS drive on Mac. Full read-write access granted! Microsoft NTFS is one of the primary file systems of Windows. If you work on a Mac computer and need to read or write files from HDD, SSD or a flash drive formatted under Windows, you need Microsoft NTFS.
GUID and exFAT since no legacy machines and OS's are involved, however the 10.6 machine must be 10.6.5 or later.
Format the new drive on the Win 7 machine, right click on it's icon and format: exFAT.
Format NTFS to Enable NTFS Writing on Mac. The basic reason for not writing to NTFS on Mac is. Reconnect the NTFS drive to the Mac. Click Go and Go to Folder on the desktop menu bar. Type in /Volumes and click Go. Find the NTFS volume in the list and open it to manage files. Scenario 2: The external hard drive has read-only permission. An administrator on Mac can set up different authorizations for different users. Microsoft NTFS is one of the primary file systems of Windows. If you work on a Mac computer and need to read or write files from HDD, SSD or a flash drive formatted under Windows, you need Microsoft NTFS for Mac by Paragon Software. Write, edit, copy, move and delete files on Microsoft NTFS volumes from your Mac! Fast, seamless, easy to use.

If you ever want to connect the drive to a XP machine with exFAT installed (free from Microsoft), then your looking at MBR + exFAT.
If the XP machine can't install exFAT, like it's not verified, then MBR + FAT32 (MSDOS) and keep all files under 4GB in size.
If you want to connect the drive to consoles and other devices, then MBR + FAT32 (MSDOS)
Don't use NTFS
