Re shared iTunes
Authored by: sfn on Mar 24, '02 12:24:08PM

The only problem I have encountered with this scheme is with UNIX permissions. Every new CD has to have group write privileges modified so that the ID3 tags can be edited by more than one user.

Also any songs not ripped from a CD may not even be in the iTunes Library unless manually added and thus not available to other users.

I wish iTunes would move and organize all MP3s into the Library Folder or at least have the option to do so.

I also use the alias method (symlinks actually). My wife and I share "Documents", music, and iPhoto files. To prevent permissions from being a hassle, I wrote a cron command that goes thru these shared folders once an hour and sets group read/write permissions.
