Ever since my wife received her iPod Shuffle this week, I have been trying to find a way for each of us to access the same music files in iTunes. We store all our music files on a separate hard drive, and until this week, I was the only iTunes user.<\/p>\n
We us Windows XP, and we have separate user accounts. Since it took forever for me to find a solution, I thought I’d post it here. It’s actually pretty simple.<\/p>\n
1. Open iTunes on my login
\n2. Export my library to a Library.xml file
\n3. Close iTunes
\n4. Open iTunes on her login
\n5. Go to Edit > Preferences
\n6. Go to the Advanced tab
\n7. Click on the Change button
\n8. Edit the location to music drive (e.g. F:iTunesiTunes Music)
\n9. Press the OK button
\n10. Go to File>Import
\n11. Browse to and select the Library.xml file<\/p>\n
All done. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
