Stupid iTunes question...

My elderly Uncle wants me to load some music on an iPod for him (his Cd's)
Do I need to create a temporary user account on my Macbook to make his iTunes account?

I'm brain-farting...

Unfortunately, I believe so

Edited: you could just create an "uncle-only" playlist and sync that.

...let him who has no sword sell his robe and buy one. Luke 22:35-36 NAV

"Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves; so be shrewd as serpents and innocent as doves." Matthew 10:16 NASV

No, but you should!

I do that for a few family members who don't have a computer to back up to.
I make a user logon for each, and back up their phone including and adding their photos to the photo app. I have the room so that doesn't bother me. I never see their stuff in normal use but can be the hero and save the day for them if they brake or loose their phone, has already happened once. I update the backup a few times a year as it is convenient.
