    2 iTunes Libraries?

    Is there anyway I can have two libraries in iTunes? I got a new iPod (8GB) and would like to have a separate library for it. I don't want to have to manual manage both iPods and thought if there were a way to set up two libraries it'd be sweet. Any tips?

    Thanks, I had checked that earlier but couldn't get it to work. I'm actually running iTunes v8 but assumed it would just roll into the newer version. No? Any ideas? Thanks

    I was looking for a way to do this too, since I have an iPhone(16gb) and sister has a nano(4gb) and wanted her comp to have my library so she could have my songs+purchased and what not.

    Couldn't get it to work right so I just did the wireless sharing crap so she can just access my library. Once in a while I had to go onto hers and update my iphones library on hers so that she can take the songs off she wanted onto her ipod since the sharing only allowed listening to the library.

    You can also set up multiple profiles/users on the designated PC to simplify things for the people not so PC savvy.

Call them (Iphone list) and (Ipod list) and sync your device to the correct list instead of sync-ing to your library. I had to do this when my library went over 40 gigs and needed to trim some songs off my ipod, but realized it worked just as good for my phone.
