When you rip further song files from CD or import files, iTunes stores
them in the Public Music folder.
You??™re all set. The other users of your PC can do either of two things:
Move their library to the Public Music folder, using the techniques described
here, so that all files are stored centrally. Instead of moving the library folder
itself, they should move the folders it contains. Users can then add songs
they import to the shared library, and all users can access them.
Keep their library separate, but add the contents of the shared library folder
to it:
Choose File | Add Folder To Library to display the Browse For Folder
dialog box.
Navigate to the Public Music folder.
Select the iTunes Music folder.
Click the Open button. iTunes adds all the latest songs to the library.
Whichever approach the other users of your PC choose, the songs that they add
to the shared library don??™t appear automatically in your library. To add all the latest
songs, use the Add To Library dialog box, as described in the previous list??”but be
careful not to add the same songs twice.
If you do add the same songs to your library twice (or more), click the Music item in the Library
area of the Source pane, and then choose View | Show Duplicates to reveal duplicate songs.
You can then delete any unwanted duplicates once you??™ve made sure they??™re actually duplicates
rather than other versions of the same songs.
