John:

What you want to do depends on how large your music collection is and 
what backup/copy equipment you have (i.e copy your iTunes to a CD/DVD's 
  or a FW drive, open her account and replace her iTunes collection with 
the copy of yours.)

THE EASIEST THING YOU CAN DO: Just make a copy of your iTunes folder 
and place it in your Public folder drop box (<user/public/drop box>.) 
Log into her account (or have her do it.) If your wife has no music in 
her folder, drag her iTunes folder (<user/music/itunes>) to the trash. 
Replace it with the copy from the drop box. Open iTunes in her user 
account and she should see the songs and playlists just as they are in 
your account. All this assumes both of you are using the same version 
of iTunes (default) and running OS 10.2 or higher.

She can then connect her iPod and it will update automatically 
(default) or do so manually <iTunes/preferences/iPod>. If she has been 
updating under your account, iTunes will ask if you want to change your 
account, blah, blah. Click yes. Will not change name of iPod, but will 
erase contacts, calendars, etc. if she was syncing those.

Hope this helps.
