Q: Shared iTunes library for two accounts on one Mac won't sync when songs get imported

My wife and I have two user accounts on the same Mac. We share one iTunes library located in the folder for all users. Add to library is checked. Now when I rip or download a song it appears in my iTunes. It does not always appear in my wifes iTunes. It seems to be random, sometimes appearing after reload, sometimes after a reboot, sometimes not appearing at all. Also when I correct a wrong songs artist it does not appear correct in my wifes iTunes.

 

There is no button to make iTunes update or sync the accounts. How can I make both iTunes have the same songs since both use the same library?

MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9)
