Share One Music Folder between Two iTunes Libraries

There's a cool walk through over at macosxhints today, showing you how to share a single Music folder between 2 iTunes libraries on two different computers: "Suppose you are in a household with two Macs. . . . iTunes already makes it easy to share your music over a LAN, which is nice up to a point, but doesn't give you much flexibility: you can't assign star ratings to someone else's music, make playlists, or load up an iPod with it. What you really want is for all that music to be yours (and all your music to be similarly available to your cohabitant)."

I had a not-as-nice version of this I was going to write an article about once upon a time, but this would seem to avoid all the System crashes that my nasty hack wrecked upon my Mac. This relies on some AppleScripts and a little creative use of Apple Remote Events.  I haven't tested it, but it looks workable and much better than hacking the system so that it thinks an alias to a remote Music folder is actually a local folder. ;-)
