Ay Dee's muzik

If there's only one Shared playlist you can see, it should look like the Music Store icon, only Blue. If there are many people with Shared music, it should be under an unfoldable icon labeled "Shared Music."

It sounds like it's a shared library. iTunes will automatically find other people's iTunes shared libraries which are within the same IP subnet as you and allow you to stream music from them. Don't worry, that music isn't on your computer.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Is there a way to know if he can see my stuff, and is there a chat option involved with this?

Yes. Go to iTunes' preferences and check the sharing tab. If the box for "Share my music" is checked, he can see yours.

No, there's no built-in chat. Often at college people will put their AIM name in parens in the Shared Name (near the bottom of that preferences window) if they want.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
