2 ipod's but only 1 computer

My brother has an ipod which he has used with the home pc for a while now. My sister has just bought one too.

Can they both be used on the same computer. I've heard stories of all music files being wiped off ipod's when two are used on the same pc

TIA

    It should be perfectly fine to use two Ipods on one Itunes. You just have to go into the options and make sure they both know what they're supposed to by synicing with. Eg you could have one syncing with a playlist specifically for it and another doing the same.

    Or you can have two seperate Itune libraries. Each user account on a Windows machine will have its own seperate Itunes library.

    You can also have multiple Itunes libraries on the same Windows user account if you want to -
    Hold down shift when you click the Itunes icon (Itunes 7 only - keep holding down the shift till a dialogue box appears) and it will give you the option to create a new library. (It might be a good idea to minimize all windows first - for some reason on my comp the dialogue box always appears behind other windows)
