Same thing to create a new library?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Manage two separate iTunes libraries. I am the only one with an iPod.

I also like automatic syncing, and don't want to have to set up a playlist to manage what goes on the iPod. Maybe I forgot to mention that a crucial factor here is our inherent laziness.

Hold down Option while launching iTunes and you get the option to choose a library.

Is that Ctrl on a PC?

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

When you hold option down while launching, it pops up with a "Quit, Create Library, Choose Library" buttons.

Not sure what Win button combo is. Possibly Alt.

Dana,

Here is a cheap shareware program that manages multiple libraries if you don't want to hit the button each time:

I think Omnis is right, that it's Alt on a PC. Ctrl is usually the key you swap out for Command on a Mac.

Awesome. I will try that once we get iTunes up and running on the computer. Thanks, all.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Mom just sent me an article about the top ten companies actively hiring and I think "The Shack" was #2.

Hmmm, maybe I should look for a job there....
