Run iTunes Across Multiple User Accounts


i have itunes on 2 accounts set access library @ /users/shared/itunes/. problem if itunes running on 1 account , try launch on other, gives error saying doesn't have write access. needs stay running on 1 appletv. there way start , have accounts have access single process? run root?
 

there old trick involving access control lists...

(the link discusses iphoto, concept same)... thought trick sort of deprecated (there's official apple kb on this, , doesn't require acl modifications). don't know if work sure, might worth try.

second problem run of xml files used maintain aspects of library metadata getting checked out 1 account or another. more serious problem -- if overcome fact 1 of accounts has left itunes running has file open, you're going run risk of corrupting repeatedly having 2 instances of itunes write it....
