this was a major problem with itunes - you guys should have bought all the music under one account...

your best bet is to sync YOUR ipod to HER computer - it will ask you if you want to re-assign the ipod - say yes and it will sync with HER music.... however your music will now be un-accessible

all new music purchased from itunes it DRM free I believe... but they fucked everyone in the beginning good.

You could try e-mailing iTunes support and perhaps they could help you find a way around it. That's why I stuck with CD's in the early days of iTunes, I wasn't going to deal with the DRM bullshit. Actually I still stick with CD's today.

I'm pretty sure that's for sharing 1 account across more then one computer

for instance I use that on both my macs so I can access my itunes on both computers... still 1 account though
