iTunes - Two Users

[stockcerts]

Is there a way to create two user profiles within Itunes? My sister's two kids each of an Ipod and they share the same computer. Each of the two kids would like to have there own music libraries, etc. I am an Ipod user, but I am happily single and no one else useds my Mac.

Appreciate any help I can get!

Maka a user account for each kid and they'll have separate iTunes libraries (and home folders, for that matter).

System preferences -> Accounts.

iTunes 7 also has some built in features to allow you to switch between two libraries on the same account.

Why not just make 2 different playlists? I'm assuming that having 2 separate libraries, if done (in)correctly, will result in 2 versions of the file.

This would also be easier if the Mac is not already set up with different user accounts.

Just have a playlist for Lisa, Bob, and Sam, and set it up to sync with their respective iPods.

Now, if someone can tell me how to play the music on my iPod on another computer, I'd be a happy camper!
