You had to register in order to purchase content. Your account also holds your credit card info and the database of content you have purchased. Once you're signed in, however, you rarely need to "re-login".

That is a good point and this is where the problem may lie. If you actually LOGOUT out of the Mrs account before you su=ync yours, maybe just maybe, the system will not import her songs into yours or vise versa.

Millions and millions of people around the US and abroad share the same itunes account.
How is that ilegal if you have the same credit cards?

RIAA individual license copyrights for digital media.

The RIAA needs to work with Apple/Itunes to make this problem of syncing with multiple usre accounts much more user friendly.

The RIAA is the one forcing Apple to make it difficult.

Probably because the RIAA has lined the pockets of our politicians. I think it is fair use.

Back to Topic.

will someone please let me know how to delete the duplicates when the right click and the delete button does not work?

Thank you!

Well if you go in and add a new song, dont you have to bring everything back in to your itunes before synching to add your new song? Otherwise it would just delete everything and not add the new song right?

Nope...
We have 4 ipods in our house... and none of us listen to the same music. All 4 ipods are set up to be managed manually. There is never any syncing going on. All media files are stored on a external HD.

wrong, you don't need to buy a song twice if you have two iPods

If YOU have two iPods. If "you" (the plural form) each have iPods, the RIAA legally requires you each purchase your own content. I know, it's stupid and nobody follows it, but it is the copyright law. I hate the RIAA.

Just setup 4 playlists

why... i don't want all that music on my HD

[palango]

I just spoke with an IPOD junkie and he states that there was a glitch with Itunes mixing several playlists and songs, BUT the very latest Itunes download version should take care of that. Now it should recognize each IPOD as unique to its owner rather than pulling songs from one o= to another.

They update and have so many new versions. maybe I have an older version of Itunes.

Now only if I could dlete some of these duplicates.

you burn cd's everytime you want to load your ipod? it'd be much easier to digitize your entire music collection instead of doing it piece meal per need.
