HT1203 It jus doesn't work...! Did anyone get this to work?

Question

I'm struggeling getting this to work: I want to share our music on 4 accounts on 1 iMac (Lion).
Moved iTuned Media to /Users/Shared, changed the Preferences to reflect this, but the songs don't appear in iTunes.
Anyone? Please?

Answer 1

I had the same problem.  Even though it reads like a 2nd alternative, it is actually a continuation of the first step.
To listen to another account's music files
Open iTunes.
From the iTunes menu, choose Preferences.
Click Advanced.
Deselect the option to "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library file."
Click OK.
From the File menu, choose Add to Library.Note: Windows users can also choose Add Folder to Library to add a folder of songs.
In the window that opens, navigate to the location where the other user's music is saved (the iTunes Media folder in this example).
Click Open.
Repeat these steps for each account that is listening to shared music.
When another user on the computer imports new music from CD, repeat steps 6 through 8 to add the music to your library."
After you do this to each account, everything should work fine.
