What's the deal with shared favorites ?

What it is:

If you have a particular favorite list that you want one or several other users to view/modify/play music from, you can do that within the "Favorites" view.

How it works:
In there, you will see a column ("Shared") with a Yes/No indication as well as a number right next to it.
The Yes/No indication is used to show if a specific favorite list is shared (or not), as well as the number of users allowed to view/modify/play music from the favorite list in question.

To share a favorite list, click on the Yes/No indication, and pick each user that you want to allow to view/modify/play music found in the list.
Only the owner/creator of a favorite list can allow access to other users.
 

Note:
It is possible to turn the display of shared lists on or off (it's set to off by default).
It's done in "Settings" (where you also select theme, language and a lot of other personal preferences).

Another thing to consider might be that displaying/sharing favorite lists may be turned off.

This can be done by an administrator and prevents sharing altogether.
