multiple users (4) on network drive

Please choose the appropriate forum for this topic. Thank you. Please choose the appropriate forum for this topic. Thank you. Please choose the appropriate forum for this topic. Thank you. I have three computers (all XP) on a home wireless network. However, all 4 of us in the family who have iPods have separate itunes installations on one main computer.

I'm considering the purchase of a network drive for a) security) and b) more space!!

However, I'm not sure if I can have 4 different itunes setups on one external drive for the 4 ipods. Would I need to set up 4 different drive names and map them to the 4 user profiles on XP? or what? And I'd like to add a fifth if my wife gets one as well.

I don't really need access from 2 of the computers but it might be useful. The main thing is transferring 4 users from the PC to the network drive.

Grateful for any help/guidance.

Cheers
Andy

Just install itunes on your individual computers, but place the library's on the external drive. You can create forlder for each librarys and keep them seperate that way.

Thanks - but doesn't iTunes expect the music to be on the root drive?

It's really easy to do, I just did it when I bought my external hard drive.
