At the moment I have two profiles setup on my iMac, one for me and one for my wife. I have an iPod Nano and so I have an iTunes account and have all of my MP3's in a folder in my profile.
My wife now wants to get an iPod and will want to be able to have some of 'my' MP3's on her iPod and will want to set-up her own iTunes account.
How is it best to set this up?
I'm assuming I need to move my existing MP3's into a shared folder that she can access from her profile and then she can import them into iTunes and decide which she wants to synchronise with the iPod? I don't think this will be a problem for MP3's that I've ripped from my own CD's but what about ones that I've bought from iTunes, will she be able to play them on her iPod?
If two installations of iTunes are referencing the same pool of songs what happens when one copy of iTunes adds a new song, will this automatically appear in the other copy of iTunes or will it have to be manually added?
How do you go about moving all your songs to a shared folder without having to recreate all your playlists, ratings, album artwork etc again?
cheers
