Hi, my first post, so be gentle :j
We have 3 users on our Mac at home 10.4.11, how can we let all the see the same iTunes library?
We've set the library to a folder not in any users private folders, this is fine. But when one user adds new tracks, the others can see them, unless we copy the XML file from the user that added them to all the other users private folders.

Welcome to the forums!
I think, you have to reimport/update everytime a new user adds music, or copy the XML file as you suggest, details:

although you can fudge if with aliases, if you are a confident user:

Hope that helps
