Question

Is it possoble to transfer my itunes library from my pc onto my wifes Imac which has her itunes library and establish two accounts on her Imac? If so what is the best method to accomplish this? I have a itouch player.

Answer 1

There are many ways to accomplish this, depending on how you want it.  Setting up multiple accounts is easy under System Preferences:Accounts.  After that open iTunes on your newly created account.
Now, is where you could do a couple of different things.  If your PC is sharing the same network and you are able to see the files on the PC from the iMac, then just drag and drop the iTunes Library music folder structure (just the part that contains the actual music) into the iTunes window.  If you can't access the PC files, then you need to copy them all to an external hard drive, and import them w/ the same method.
If you don't want to create a second root-level account for yourself, but want to keep the music library separate, create another iTunes Library.  You do this by holding down the Option key while starting iTunes, then click on the Create Library option.  Then import the music using either method above.
