How To Share iTunes Playlist With Another


New: iPod Touch User Manual - The Hidden Manual You Won't Want To Share! Click here to download your copy for only $17 iPod instructions
By Daniel Dwase...

To share iTunes playlist with another, iTunes has built-in sharing features that let you share your entire iTunes playlist with other people as well as taking advantage of theirs in a reciprocal way.

You store your music in a centralised location and can be accessed from any of your home/office computers that run iTunes.

Setting Up iTunes Sharing Feature

iTunes sharing feature works only on a local network --in your home or office-- and not over the internet due to copyright issues.

To do this, open iTunes and go to Edit > Preferences

Share iTunes playlist with another

Click on the Sharing icon and tick the boxes that say Look for shared libraries and Share my library on my local network.

A message will pop up reminding you that sharing music is for personal use only. You can share your entire library or selected playlists.

Setup a password that users must enter to access your files if you wish but I recommend you do not. When you're done click OK and you're ready to share.

Windows Firewall -- Allow Users On Your Network to Access Your Shared Playlist

If other users on your local network can't connect to your music library after you've allowed sharing, you may need your operating system's built-in firewall to allow the traffic through.

To do this, open the Sharing preference pane -- System Preferences > Sharing > Firewall, and then select iTunes Music Sharing.

If one of the computers on your network is a windows PC, follow Apple's instructions on how to allow Window's Internet Connection Firewall to share http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93396 (opens in new window)

Testimonials...
OMG!!!!!! This website helped me so much! I just got my first iPod yesterday and this helped alot.
SallyAnne, USA

You are a genius, I thought I had downloaded iTunes 7... I didn't have to reset, everything came up as was on it when it crashed. I cannot thank you enough for not giving up, this one had sentimental value that you cannot believe and they do not make the black nanos anymore. I tried everything on the internet, and you are the only one that replied and kept at it until you solved the problem.
Thank you.
Buddy Kniffen, Midland, Texas

Wow Daniel! What a fantastic service. I really didn't expect such a prompt response, if at all. And thanks for your advice. I certainly will be downloading from the sites you have listed. We are bathing in summer heat here, whilst I guess you are sheltering from the approaching winter. As a student it is not unusual to work through the night and I must say, how fantastic it is to have music all night. And such excellent quality sound too. So thrilled to have iPod up and running!
Thanks again.
Ciao
Elizabeth, Palmerston, North New Zealand
