Is it possible to have 2 iPods on just one computer? Possibly have two iTunes libraries perhaps?

2 iPods with one computer is no problem (I have an iMod, Nano and my sons 2 Shuffles all on the same computer). 2 iTunes libraries would require you to swap directories between starting the iTunes application but would be possible. Normally you have a iTunes directory that contains a number of files plus the directories "Album artwork" and "iTunes music" (where music files are kept if you allow iTunes to manage your files). I have moved my "iTunes music" directory to another location and you can then maintain several copies of the remaining structure that you have to copy back and forth between starting the iTunes application. How this would work with songs bought thru iTunes music store I don't know since I don't do that.

Yes share my itunes with my wife. We have separate play lists and it just updates to those play lists.

I think it is automatic when you plug in the second ipod.

as long those ipod does have the auto update on, should be no prob.

5 ipods here...

two (straightforward) ways...

1) create playlists to auto-update from (as stated before)... simplest and (imo) best way...
2) use manual management and manually update ipod(s) as needed...

creating separate libraries (or multiple music folders) is about a thousand times too much work and completely unnecessary...

You could use WinAMP or some other software to manage your iPod. Most non-Apple software supports multiple iPods without the stupid limits.

Wouldnt the simplest solution be, use a seperate user account on windows?
