What do you do if you share an iTunes library?

I used to be the only one with an iPod in my family.

Now my younger sister has one and we share a computer. So therefore we share a library on iTunes. I don’t want all the songs she has, and she doesn’t want all the songs I have.

How should we go about this problem?

Before I just did what I wanted and it didn’t matter because it was only my library…therefore I only learned about iTunes what I needed to for me.

Do we have to manually manage music and movies? And how do you really do that? I don’t really get the concept..

What’s the easiest way and detailed instructions would help a ton.

Thanks! =]

Answer #1

you make a separate playlist with all the songs your sister wants. then next time she plugs in her ipod, go to its options, then the music tab, and make it so that it only syncs to the specific playlist.

Answer #2

If you are running XP make seperate logins for you and your sister.

This way you can each have your own library.
