What is the easiest way to share music files between multiple users on the same computer for use in iTunes. For example, I have ripped a number of CDs to my music folder. I want to have access to these songs in my wife's user profile to be able to sync with her iPod Nano with iTunes.

Open iTunes Preferences and go to the Advanced tab. There you will find a spot that lets you choose your Music folder location. Simply select the same folder for both user accounts. You'll probably also have to modify the permissions on the music folder. Get Info on the folder just allow everyone to read/write, that's the simplest.
