I got on I Tunes when I came home and there was a shared music list of tunes which I have not purchased and have no idea how it got there. What is that?

If you don't recognize the name on the shared library, I would guess that someone near you has their computer set up to share their iTunes library, and does not have sufficient protection on their computer to keep it from being picked up outside their own network.

Addendum: I just went and read the help files on sharing, and it seems that the shared library must be on your own local network. If you do not recognize the name, there may be a problem with your own network protection -- someone may be using your network without your knowledge.

Can they get into my stuff???

Well, it is possible if you have sharing turned on and no password protection. Do you have a wi-fi network, and if so do you have password protection on it? You might want to search the Mac Help files for more information on security.

Do you have a Mac? Do you have wireless?

I'd check this setting and turn off sharing. If you have wireless, I would also check into securing your connection.

Edited to Add: Thanks Roz. I was working on my post when you answered.
