Two different users: need to sync contacts from one, music from another

I have set up two different users on my computer. I share an ipod touch with my husband and I have synced apps and music from my itunes account. I have set up his contacts on the second user section because mine are in my user account...and I don't want them mixed with mine!. How can I get his contacts into the ipod since it will apparently only sync with one user account?

Can't be done that I know of.

One iPod, One users apps, music and information etc...

You can't mix and match users on the same iPod Touch...

Can I move the contacts from one user to another? And, if I can add his contacts to my user ID, can I add them in a way that is separate from my contacts?

Whatever is in the users address book on the computer will get synced to the iPod Touch.
Only one user.
You could combine all of the address book addresses on the one account and then they would all go to the iPod Touch.
You could also put those addresses into "Groups" on the computer before syncing it...
His/Her group etc...
Then you would have your separate group addresses.
