What's the best way to setup iTunes on a Mac that has two or three user accounts and share the same music?

My wife and I are the main users and currently we have one folder entitled "Shared iTunes Music" that is in the "Shared" folder under "Users". I've imported the music into each of our iTunes from this location. However, I realize that it seems that the music is now also located in the following folder under each account after the import was done:

/Users/User Name/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media

So, because my music folder is about 20GB in size, I think I'm wasting 40GB of space on my hard drive.

What's the best way to clean this up and set it up so we can share our music?

Thanks very much in advance...
