Is it possible to move/transfer/combine songs from different users if the users are all on the same computer?

If so, how is this done? By using the finder and copying the iTunes music folder to another user?


Thanks to all who answer.

Yes. Go to your HD, then select users, then select shared, and put them in there. Next time try to put this in the right forum, since this has nothing to do with iPod besides the fact that you can put this music on your iPod.

No problem. You could also use a storage device ( firewire hard drive, flash drive) if you wanted.

I just copied the folder to my other son's sharded folder. I then had to change permissions on all of the songs and folders. Then I had to drag the song folders into the iTunes folder. From them, iTunes wouldn't read them in the library view until I opend each song by double-clicking on it.
A fair amount of work but it worked out. I gotta believe that there is an easier way.

Thanks again.
