Share Your Music

1) Enable the "Share my music" option in iTunes' preferences. Be sure to choose a spiffy name for your collection that will encourage others to check out your jams. You can share all your music, or just music in selected playlists. People viewing your collection will see the playlists you've given access to, so consider giving them helpful, and non-embarassing names. You might want to avoid sharing that Make Out playlist you made for your girlfriend.

2) Tell others what your iTunes name is. Login to wso and edit your facebook info to add your iTunes name. This ensures that, when your collection becomes legendary as a monument to good taste, you will be able to claim your rightful reputation as the man or woman behind the myth.
