STYLETHREAD -- LET'S TALK SHOP!

iTunes lets you share music libraries that are connected to the same network. See your iTunes Preferences: Sharing secetion and you'll see you can also share your own library.

Since this only works across computers connected to the same network - it looks like your downstairs neighbor jasmine is connected to your wireless router and using your Internet connection - thus the reason her shared library is popping up on iTunes.

You can't copy songs across shared playlists, sadly.

Looks like you caught her red-handed using your dsl connection though! I'd probably ask her about it - she may not be aware of it. Her activity on it could slow down your connection or worst case - however unlikely - she or someone else in your building could obtain access to your files.

Yeah, I know what you mean about "borrowing" songs. Everytime I'm on the school's internet connection, I see several music libraries of other students (sometimes professors!) I wistfully browse through the list but too bad I can't get any of them. I think it has to do with Apple wanting to discourage illegal sharing, which I can understand.
