You can add other files to the media library easily:
Drag the files from a Windows Explorer window to the Library area of the
Source pane (the pane on the left of the iTunes window).
Choose File | Add Folder To Library to add a whole folder of files.
Choose File | Add File To Library to add an individual file.
Share Your Library with Other Local iTunes Users
You can share either your entire library or selected playlists with other users on your
network. You can share most items, including MP3 files, AAC files, Apple Lossless
Encoding files, AIFF files, WAV files, and links to radio stations. You can??™t share Audible
files or QuickTime sound files.
At this writing, you can share your library with up to five other computers per day, and your
computer can be one of up to five computers accessing the shared library on another computer
on any given day. However, Apple can change the details of library sharing, so you may see different
restrictions from these.
To share some or all of your library, follow these steps:
In iTunes, choose Edit | Preferences or press CTRL-COMMA or CTRL-Y to display
the iTunes dialog box.
Click the Sharing tab, shown in Figure 13-2 with settings chosen.
Select the Share My Library On My Local Network check box (which is
cleared by default). By default, iTunes then selects the Share Entire Library
option button. If you want to share only some playlists, select the Share
Selected Playlists option button, and then select the check boxes for the
playlists you want to share.
