I have the family's entire music collection on an external drive connected to my FP iMac. My kids each have an iMac and access the music via Sharing. All works well, except no one can drag and drop a song into a local playlist in order to burn it to a CD. They always are coming to my FP iMac (the music server, per se) to burn their CDs. Obviously this is annoying because I am tired of always having to let them on my system. Why wouldn't the drag and drop from a Shared library not be able to be copied into a local playlist?

Because Apple doesn't condone stealing. Even on local networks. You can just listen to them, you don't have access to the files to copy.
