I hear about all these dadgum kids sharing playlists with each other, but I can’t figure out how to do it on Itunes. I don’t want to send copies of my music files. I just want to send a list of recommendations to someone. ---

I’m sure there is a cooler way of doing this, but I’ve done it by taking a screen shot of my playlist and emailing it to someone. Ok, and the Itunes website says: “To share a playlist, select the one you want to share. Click the Publish arrow to the right of the playlist in the Source List. If you don’t see the Publish arrow, make sure the “Show links to the iTunes Store” checkbox is selected in iTunes \> Preferences (Windows — Edit \> Preferences).” ---

What happens after you “publish”? Everyone with an Apple ID gets to see it? How do they access it? I just want ti give it ti one or two friends.
