So my question is: what should I do to arrange my music in two different accounts on the same PC. (I think that is how it ended up - I actually tried this a few months ago) So it didn't work, and my dream for a gloriously harmonised music collection embracing both Apple and Microsoft and bringing them together like quarrelling cousins, has failed. Windows Media Player will, but you have to tell it to look in the folder again to realise there is more music there. However, it seems that unless iTunes did the ripping, then it won't acknowledge the music is there. Then anything one of us ripped in our own account would be available to the other. I thought that if I set both iTunes and Windows Media Player to rip tunes to the shared 'Public Music' folder, then both programmes would be able to read and use the music. However the collections ended up a mess, with both of us having the same music ripped in different formats, so I decided to wipe both our music collections and start again. mp3 in an attempt to at least have some consistency between our collections. So we both built up music collections in our own accounts on my PC, with the added complication that I started ripping my CDs as. I, on the other hand, have always used Windows Media Player. Originally uploaded by sHzaam!I wonder if it's possible to run iTunes and Windows Media Player as the music players of choice on the same music, in different accounts, on the same PC.Įver since W won a iPod Touch at a conference, she has had to use iTunes to organise her music and transfer tunes to her device.

Run in the same groove
