    Swapping music between users.

    I have just set up my 8 year old as a user on my iBook.
    This is so he is all set when Santa brings him a Nano for Christmas.
    How can I swap certain music/video tracks from my iTunes to his?
    I don't mean to copy things bought from the itunes store.
    Any help, as always appreciated.

    Right click on the file in itunes - then find its locale, and then go there! Copy manually.

    All a bit dull though.. there are scripts which allow exporting of playlists to a specific folder alllowing easier importing to another library - such as.

    The problem you'll have is that the files in user accounts aren't accessible from another users log in.

    Instead drag and drop them to the 'shared' user, then you'll be able to grab the files.
