Simultaneously share iTunes on one multi-user Mac
While effective, this seems to be an inelegant solution, one prone to break with a future update. It also presumes you won't ever want to add users (for whom new ports would be required).
Simultaneously share iTunes on one multi-user Mac
This is a really good solution, but what if someone is using the sawtooth? You cannot login via AFP to the computer you are on, at least not in a test I just performed. Presumably, if the music is on an external drive, this would not matter because that volume is available to all logged in users. But then music added by different users may have permission issues. (Can music added to an iTunes library be read by all users? I do not think so, but not certain.)

If someone were using the sawtooth . . . Now *there's* a problem for you. Sort of. If the data and operating system are separate then it wouldn't be a problem. I was sticking as closely to bciesq's scenario as I could, but I do a version of this myself.

While effective, this seems to be an inelegant solution, one prone to break with a future update. It also presumes you won't ever want to add users (for whom new ports would be required). I guess inelegance is in the eye of the beholder. In my situation, I needed a simple solution because my fiancee wouldn't want to go through the trouble of mounting a drive remotely. Also, I'm not sure why a future update would break this -- I know that Apple has restricted internet sharing of music, but I don't see them restricting the use of Airport Express in the way that I am using it. In any event, I don't have a use for internet sharing -- if I am away from the house I have my iPod with me because that's its purpose. You are correct that new users will require new ports to be opened, but I don't see that being a common occurrence in my situation -- YMMV. Finally, I don't know if your method would work with my fiancee's WinTel machine (I'm not saying it wouldn't, but I have concerns). Have you tried it with a Wintel box? |
