iTunes for Mac (iMac) mid 2010

My iMac running latest OSX and iTunes versions (has two logins but Harddrive is not partioned

? is iTunes music on main login has plenty of music , but alternate login has limited music...

WIll setting up family sharing solve access to the non music login ? or am I looking at this incorrectly?

Never thought about it before until We moved and a Kohler shower head with a ( Moxie)

bluetooth speaker (removable) to charge is in the master bath

aalso the secondary login has a clean desktop, and all applications are present on both.

Any ideas or suggestions would be most appreciated.

A computer login is not the same as an Apple ID and the answer will depend upon how many AppleIDs are involved and how many users. You don't even need to use two accounts unless for some reason you need to have one for use in the shower ( 😕). If both accounts on the computer use the same AppleID you can use Home Sharing to copy media from one account to the other. You can also have multiple libraries in one user account, or two libraries in the same account or different accounts using a shared set of media files, or... Maybe I am over-thinking this but for me I really need to know more about your setup and goals before I can narrow down one of the dozen possibilities for a configuration for you. How many users, how many Apple IDs, how many libraries and where, using one set of media files or multiple sets?
