Sharing non-iTunes music

barrydrink · May 26, 2013

I realise that this is not specifically iPhone related but I have 100GB of music ripped from CDs. I want them to be available to my iTunes library and my wife's iTunes library as we both now have the iPhone5.

What is the best way to achieve this? In the past when there was only one iPhone in the household, I would just drop folders in the "automatically add to itunes" folder which worked well, but I'm sure there must be a more efficient way than doing this twice - once for me and separately for my wife, creating 200GB of files!

I'm happy to recreate both libraries from scratch if necessary (we don't have any iTunes purchased music - just this 100GB).

I'm using Windows 7.

Thanks

Make sure wife has her own apple ID.
Open iTunes. Sign out yourself. Sign in her. Drag and drop your music to her phone. No rocket science

Thanks for that. Where exactly do I drag and drop? Onto the iTunes ui itself? And are there any settings changes I need to make for this to work - I'm specifically think about the advanced tab in preferences.

Thanks.
