I had thought that renaming a track from one user of a shared iTunes library (where the files are shared, but each has her own library file, with ratings/play counts, etc) would cause iTunes to not be able to find it for the other users.

But, I renamed “Tom’s Dinner” to “Tom’s Diner” (Suzanne Vega), and switched over to the other user, thinking I’d have to do the old Find Track trick, but iTunes was smart enough to realise that the track it needed had changed name…and updated the library automatically.

I have one feature I’d like to see in iTunes - the ability to mark tracks as ‘identical’, and have them belonging to two (or more) albums, but sharing the rating, play count, and even disk space.

That would be cool. Especially since I have lots of tracks in this situation.
