Multiple authorizations?

Is it possible to have a single user on a computer to have multiple authorizations in iTunes? I have my laptop authorized for my iTunes purchases but we use my laptop for dj gigs. If a friend hooks up an external that has some of his purchased songs on it do i have to deauthorize my account so he can authorize his? or can one user have multiple authorizations?

Expanding on Chris' "economical" reply - 🙂 - for any given copy of iTunes, you can have it authorized for up to five iTunes Music Store accounts.

I should mention, though, that using purchased tracks commercially is a violation of the license. Tracks purchased from the iTunes Music Store are for personal use only and should not be used for paid DJ gigs. I presume you know you need a license even for tracks you import from CD (just buying the CD isn't sufficient)?

Thanks for the help fellas. This has all become moot as the program I use to dj doesn't read the iTunes files. Thanks tho...
