Thanks Jason.... I could be that friend (!) but would it merge our
iTunes libraries?
Or do I setup a new and separate user in Mavericks, copy the library
over and do it that way?
I don't see why. You would have to launch her itunes library (the file)
or hold down option on launch to navigate to it but it would be a
separate one.
I would create a new user for her on your mac; plug in the HD and launch
the iTunes library file (not folder) (This chimes with Sam's advice).
There might be a trick getting it to see the actual files, which *might*
be resolved by booting from her disk (and leaving overnight? how much
music are we talking about?)
NB this is how to save all the metadata (play count etc).
If you don't care about that you just create a new user on your mac, get
her to log with her AppleId and drop the itunes folder (with music etc
in it) onto the iTunes icon, ensuring you have *de*selected 'Copy files
to iTunes Media folder when adding to library' in the Prefs/Advanced. It
will then add it all to the library. As before, then you swtich on Match
and let it upload (you can leave it running in the background while you
use your machine on your account, with hers in the background)
