[QUOTE="lucore, post: 1482366, member: 146933"] We have two different itunes accounts (on separate computers) and recently got a new macbook pro. We want to be able to share the 2 accounts between all the different computers. We enabled home sharing, but it wouldn't allow us to share many of the songs due to the "protected" status (or whatever it is). So I have a couple of questions - Do we need to "upgrade" our account to the itunes match so that these can be shared? Will that do it or do we need to do something else also? It costs $25/year, but can we cancel it later and still retain our"new" music? I've heard people have lost music, playlists, etc. when doing this - comments? By using the cloud, do we have access to this on peripheral devices (iphones at work)? Basically, I'm looking for the easiest way (I'm not tech savvy) to be able to play music (that we purchased!) on our own separate computers. Comments/ideas/advice? Thanks very much [/QUOTE]
