Two users with two libraries

Question

I have 2 libraries with 2 users ( didn't notice that one of my CDs was on other account until now ). So I'm asking if there is a possibility to move all songs from my first account to my second, without authorizing new computer?
Thx.

Answer 1

Heres what you will do in a nutshell
Moms Account
We will start here since she is the one with mostly all the music.
1) Open iTunes and selct the main library. Look at the bottom of itunes and take note of the size of the whole library. Just for example lets say its 10GB.
2) Open "My COmputer" and highlight the C drive (Or whatever drive windows is on) and make sure theres 10GB of freespace or more.
3) Go back to iTUnes. goto edit>preferences>advanced>general sub tab and make sure both "Keep files organized" and "Copy files to the itunes music folder" are UNCHECK.
4) goto Advanced>consolidate library. this will COPY the songs to the "iTUnes Music" folder. Once done.....
5) Open "my Music" and delete all songs here. make sure you DO NOT delete the itunes folder. You will do this to save disk space and get rid of copies.
6) Goto edit>pref>advanced>general beside the location of the "iTUnes Music" folder you will see 2 buttons, reset and change. hit the "Chage" button and move the location of the iTUnes music folder here
C drive\Documents and Settings\All Users\Shared Documents
Now you have created a centralized location for music. We will now link the other 2 accounts to this central location
Dads account
Since he has no music you just repeat step 3 first then step 6 on his account.
Sons account
Being he does have music you need to first repeat step 3 then consolidate his library, gointo "My Music" or wherever he had music files, delte the copys to save space THEN repeat step 6 on his account.
