Hi. I'd appreciate some advice about the best way to setup iTunes for multiple users on my new iMac.
Basically I have two user accounts (one for me and one for my wife). We both have our own iPod Nanos and want to keep separate playlists, ratings etc BUT we want to keep the actual music files in one location rather than having to duplicate everything and copy across iTunes Store purchases. We do have different musical preferences, but as we only sync certain playlists to our iPods it doesn't matter if we don't like every song in the library.
Would it work if we just moved the music files to a shared folder eg /Users/Shared/Music but kept our iTunes database files in our own home areas?
The advise on the Apple site seems to suggest that this would work.
