Share an iTunes library and set the sticky bit.
Authored by: abriening on Feb 16, '04 10:30:11PM
I put the shared iTunes Music folder in the shared folder and set the user to root, group to staff and set the sticky bit. Check out man chmod and man sticky to learn more about sticky directories. This way the music I import can only be edited or deleted by me and the music others import can only be edited or deleted by the them. The only problem I can see is if one user imports an artist another user can't import that same artist because they can't modify that artist's folder. But this hasn't been a problem for me.
