I posted a tweet a couple of weeks ago trying to figure out the best to consolidate our music libraries onto one machine and share across all our laptops so we don't have to keep big copies on everyone's machines. So after many hours of work this is the best solution I came up with today but it's pretty close and it's mainly thanks to iTunes 9 and the 'Home Sharing' feature to get it all to work. Please let me know if you have questions or better ideas! Thanks.

Brad, thank for the great video re sharing itunes accounts. I can see my husband's library but I can't copy anything from his library into mine. I was trying to copy some of his music onto my iphone. I can drag it but it doesn't turn green with a + to indicate it is viable. Home sharing is turned on for both our machines. Not sure of what I can do at this point. Any ideas? I would appreciate any input.
Thanks again
Gina

Hi Gina, glad you liked the video!
Not sure why that would be if you are seeing his library and doing the drag-n-drop it should work. I'd double check the permissions again and that you both are on iTunes 9. If all that checks out, I'd probably reinstall iTunes myself but that's me.
