[iTunes] Sharing the itunes library on single mac

[William E. Lane]

The way I got around this way back at the first install of X was to 
have a separate drive or partition for all the stuff that I wanted to 
share between users, including music. I then did Get Info on the 
partition and checked off the 'ignore ownership on this volume'. Works 
like a charm. Everything that everyone puts there can be accessed by 
everyone else.
I'm sure someone else on the list will have another solution besides 
'add a drive/wipe and partition' to use my method.
