Thanks to all...for the great directions. We haven't had separate iTunes user accounts. All her music and my music are in one library and our individual iPods now sync to our respective playlists. So I will... 1. create a library on the stick name it Kristina's and move my albums one by one from the current shared library? 2. when I sync my iPod I will tell iTunes to look on my stick? thanks again, Kristina iBook, 900 MHz, 512 KB, 640 MB OSX 4.11.1 iTunes 8.1.1 -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Books, a group for those using G3 iBooks and PowerBooks (we run a separate list for G4 'Books).
