This is only a half solution, (unless this has been changed in a
more recent version iTunes than I have tried it) in that you cannot assign
ratings to the shared music, and it doesn't keep track of play count,
date, etc. Plus, you can't add shared songs to your iPod. So, for
listening on your computer, it would work (as long as both users are
logged in).
