Archived - Sharing large music libraries doesn't work in iTunes 4.5
With iTunes 4.5, you probably won't be able to listen to someone else's shared music (also using iTunes 4.5) if the library is too large. You'll see the "Loading <shared music name>" message in iTunes stays, but the shared library won't appear.

Update to the latest version of iTunes to prevent this from occurring.
With iTunes 4.5, the solution is to ask your friend to create a playlist in iTunes that contains a smaller subset of her music, and share it instead.
