I live in a dormitory, and so I can share music with my fellow dormers via iTunes. I think it would be really neat to see who was listening to my music and to what tracks they were listening. I’ve looked all over iTunes but I can’t find a setting for this. I’m inclined to think that one doesn’t exist, but is there something I’m missing?

If there isn’t a setting for this, there should be.

If you are running iTunes on the Mac platform, here is a link to some freeware from VersionTracker. I can’t vouch for it’s stability or usability, however. [iMonitor](http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19869)
