How do I share iTunes music between different accounts on one Mac?

Good morning !

There are various users sharing our Mini. Can I set the Mini up so that we all can share the same music library ?

It works for "initial sharing" but the described solution includes some drawbacks;
- songs added under one account don't show "automatically" for other users
- if added there is a copy of the song-file (* 2.mp3)
- no "bulk" import withoud re-adding already present songs

Any workarounds for these problems known? 'caus I'm getting tired to keep the 3 iTune Libs of my girls in synch 😉
