How can I create my own iTunes music file?

Question

I have an iPhone and want to put music on it. My son has created an iTunes application on our home computer and has dowloaded all his songs to it. I thought all I would have to do is to create a new user name or folder for my music and dowload away, but it does not appear to be that simple - or maybe I am simple! I created a new file and downloaded some music I had purchased from iTunes into the folder, but somehow all the songs went into my son's folder. Is there an easy way to to this so I can keep my music separate from his? Thanks!

Apparently classes like SoundbankResource and Instrument in the javax.ssound.midi package allow us to do that but I don't really understand how they work.The way the code is structured...
A Soundbank is a set of Instrument and/or SoundbankResource (An Instrument is a type of SoundbankResource and is just a subclass)
A SoundbankResource appears to be a class that contains either
(1) Intruments
(2) Sampled audio data
(3) MIDI Sequence data
Regardless of what the SoundbankResource provides, all it is is a wrapper around some sort of data object. It's job, in essense, is to return whatever it is holding in response to a getData() request.
In order to utilize a SoundbankResource, you'd have to wrap around an object that whatever Synthesizer you're using is capable of playing.
Probably the easiest way to implement your own custom Soundbank without using a soundbank editor (which may or may not work with JavaSound's engine when all is said and done) would be to write a custom Synthesizer that plays short WAV files, and build SoundbankResource objects to wrap around said short WAV files.
