Multiple devices per iTunes

Completely - you can do either ....

a. Use the same Windows account & just set each device to sync different play lists in iTunes.

b. Use different Windows accounts, in which case you won't see your wife's playlists & vice versa


The advantage of (a) is that you only have to add each album etc / media item to iTunes once. As you have only a single media library, it'll also take up less space.

The advantage of (b) in increased privacy / security, if that's important to you.

 

I'd like to know the answer to this too. My wife and I will be getting iPhones soon and we both have our separate iTunes accounts. I know that I can authorize and deauthorize computers, but we'd like to keep both of them synced to our Windows 7 Desktop since we know that one will always be home and that's the one we prefer to play our media on.

We only have one "login" for Windows, so while I could very simply add her as a User, I would prefer to just have a single account with multiple iTunes logins. I wonder if something can be done from the command line itself, such as an argument like itunes.exe -wifesaccountname or itunes.exe -myaccountname

This is probably a better question for the iTunes/Apple Official Forums.

 

For that I would recommend having separate user accounts on the Desktop, and syncing that way.

 

I also think separate Windows accounts is a better option. That's how hubby & I have ours set up. If you move the iTunes media folder to the Public folder, you can each have access to all your music & whatnot.
