FAT32 may be the only solution if you need read/write-access from both
systems, but for stuff like mp3, it may suffice to mount your Windows
NTFS-partition read-only.  FreeBSD can do that with mount_ntfs(8).  

I have setup such a thing for someone.  Read/write-access to a shared
FAT32-partition, and read-only acces to a Win2k NTFS-partition.  No
problem whatsoever.
