forgotten how to handle two things and need a bit of help. I want to run identicle iTunes libraries on two macs in the house. Do i simply copy the entire music fokder from my home drive? I want to make sure my playlists make the trip as well as the music.

second (unrelated), how do I share libraries between two machines on the same network? I have turned sharing on one of the machines, but i cannot figure out how to actually tell iTunes to look for the share.

thanks, k

that covers the sharing side..what I cant figure out is how to see those shared libraries. I can't see anyway to access them on the client machine.

shared playlists will appear in the same column on the left as your library and playlists.
