Multiple users on one computer sharing the library
Authored by: jamesbellthe1st on Nov 12, '09 06:07:39PM

I share one iTunes library between 2 users on one Mac. Up until a month or two ago, this caused issues if one user tried to open iTunes while the other user had it open (i.e. open iTunes and fast user switch to another account). It gave a "library locked" error or something similar, and iTunes wouldn't start in the 2nd account.
Now, it seems to work. I don't know if that's because of the iTunes 9 upgrade or a Snow Leopard upgrade. I occasionally get an error saying that the library can't be written to, but that error can be suppressed and it's still possible to open the library and listen to music.
