Hi,

I am awaiting the delivery of a new iPod. We have separate accounts on our iMac and separate music libraries.

What I want to be able to do when I get it is put the music from both my library and my wife's. We each keep our libraries in our public folders so we can have access to our music.

It seem from what I've read if I sync the iPod from my account, it will only put my music on the iPod. So, is there a way to put both our music on the iPod?

Thanks,

Chris

You'll need to do it manually (i.e. uncheck "automatically synch with this iPod") but otherwise yes, it's easy to do.

Thank you very much for the info. I take it that if I do it manually, I'll be able to specify for the iPod from which folders to pull the music?

Thanks again!

You just drag the songs and playlists you want from the iTunes library straight to the iPod. It's really simple.
