    Awesome! I've wondered how to do this, I'm definitely setting this up! Thanks!

    What do I do if I just got a new computer and iTunes says my account is maxed out. As in it won't let my authorize anymore users...? HELP!

    A nice time saver in the file/add to library process is to use the right click. You can select or whole crapload of stuff to add then just right click and select add to library. Woot.

    I had no idea that I could do this. Hopefully I won't ever have to, though. If my kids ever touch my iTunes...oh boy are they dead meat.

    Or you could, um, I dunno, just create separate accounts for Mum, Dad, brother and sister?

    True, but then you risk having duplicate files all over your computer. This is just one work around to a complicated problem.

    I have a couple of computers and all have iTunes which won't let me use my Ipod on there without deleting what is on my Ipod, so I only use the Ipod on one computer. So even tho I have downloads on the other computers, I have not known how to add it to my Ipod.

    Ipods are great, tho I am a little unsure of all I can do with them.

    I was actually planning on covering that very scenario in a future post, so stay tuned!

    Thanks for the help. I started the process but quit before creating a library. I couldn't the the dialog box to reappear. Now I know I wasn't holding the option button down long enough.
