Q: Music on multiple computers
My wife and I would like to share our music collection. It contains mostly ripped CDs but also a growing number of downloaded songs.
The music is all store at home on our iMac.
I would like to have all this music available on her laptop, so she can listen to it at work, and also her iPhone.
Additionally, I would like this music on my laptop for when I'm on the road.
Would it be possible to do this by 'authorizing' all 3 OSX devices and importing the music from the home iMac to both of them?
Then, sync my wife's iPhone with her laptop, or the iMac.
Would I have to use her Apple ID to sign in to iTunes on my laptop?
Would using her Apple ID for iTunes on my laptop effect the use of my Apple ID for other functions like iCloud?
MacBook Air, iOS 9.3.3

Yes you'd achieve what you want exactly as you have described.
You wouldn't need to sign into her account on your computer and vice versa but you will need to authorise them.
You won't be able to add your purchased music to her phone unless you set up family sharing.
