Right-click the library in the Source pane and choose Disconnect.
Share Your Music More Effectively with Other Local Users
As you saw earlier in this step, iTunes makes it easy for you to share either your library
or specific playlists with other iTunes users on your local area network (LAN).
You can share with up to five different computers per day, and your computer must
be attached to the network and powered on for other computers to be able to access
your shared files.
You may also want to share your music and videos with other users of your
computer. As you saw in Step 2, Windows Media Player knows the ins and outs of
Windows Firewall and can share your media files even if you??™ve put them in the
folders within your user account that are normally barred to anyone but you. iTunes
doesn??™t have this inside knowledge, and as a result, you have to work around the security
features built into Windows before you can share your music and video files.

libraries appear in the
Source pane in iTunes,
allowing you to quickly
browse the songs and
other items that are
being shared.
142 Part II: Intermediate
Your iTunes library, which is stored by default in your Music\iTunes\iTunes Music
folder, is securely protected from other users of your computer. That??™s great if you
want to keep your music to yourself, but not so great if you want to share it with
your friends, family, or coworkers.
