I have 2 accounts on my computer, mine and my girlfriends. She has her own music set up in itunes and likes to burn cds a lot. However, sometimes she wants to get some tracks from my playlist but can't because of the user accounts. Is there a way I can set it so she can have access? Is it as simple as permissions?
Got a tip for us?

There are several ways you can do it
If you want to just have one master iTues folder, you could make one user folder on a shared area... like under / or something and then make aliases of that folder and put them in inplace of the 2 user iTuns folders ~/username/music/iTunes
If you want to keep the folders seperate, you can do it with permissions or you can set your iTunes preffs so the iTuns folders will be found in a shared area.
