Create a multiple user iTunes music library
Authored by: doctorcrane on Nov 14, '03 09:23:06AM

I'm having a similar issue....

My library lives on a firewire drive hanging off my desktop PC (XP Pro). I sync my iPod through my PowerBook. The PowerBook accesses the library through a Samba share.

I want to share the library with both machines, but it seems that once I do the "add to library" in iTunes on the PC, iTunes on the Powerbook can't open the files, and vice-versa. (Note: I have the "iTunes Music Folder Location"set to the shared drive for both".. I can see the files, but I can't play them)


The "Ignore permissions" (apple-I) option you mentioned sounds like it may help.....But where do I issue the Apple-I command? It doesn't seem to be doing anything for me.

Thanks -

PS: I'm new to Mac... Only had my PowerBook 1 week. But we are spending large amounts of quality time together.
