the long way around
There's no need for aliases to accomplish this. Check out the following:
the long way around
BINGO!!!!!!!!! I've been using this method for months now. Six users and 4.5GB of MP3 later, I haven't had any problem with all users sharing the same files. Encoding new ones isn't a problem either. Simply use iTunes Preferences dialog to select the "Shared" folder and delete the existing folders. One note though, each user will need to be logged in and the iTunes preferences set. Otherwise they won't all point to the same folder.
Huh? That can't be all there is to it; it doesn't work for me
I have installed Panther on the same box, but different hard drive, and want my new iTunes to use the same music folder as the Jaguar system's iTunes uses. Changing the Preferences setting as you describe here has no effect, even after restarting iTunes.
the long way around
Yes, and No. Two users on a single machen can use the same folder, but the Libraries remain separate. So, for example if my wife adds CDs to the folder they don't get added to my library unless I go look for them and tell iTunes to add them.
the long way around
I (try) to use this method, but it doesn't work. |
