Default Getting songs on 2 media players.

My computer has two logins, one for me as administrator and one for my son.
I was wondering how to get the songs i have on my media player onto his, and
have it so each time i download a new song, it would also go to his player.
I don't know if this is possible, but thought i would ask.

Put them in a known shared location, and have the library scan that folder
as a Watched Folder under WMP's Tools:Options:Library options.

However, be careful that your metadata update settings are OK in both
profiles as you may end up with your son overwriting your filenames,
intentionally or by dint of one instance of WMP electing to do so.
