My girlfriend and I both use iTunes for our music. We have separate accounts and have iTunes on two different computers (she has a mac and I have a windows pc). I believe at one point people were able to share and copy music from one pc to another across the shared music network within iTunes. I'm having trouble doing so and was wondering if it's still possible to copy music from one pc to another with iTunes 11.0.2
If we can't copy music between iTunes anymore I guess we will have to use an external hard drive. I'd like to avoid this if we can so please let me know if you have any information on how to share music between two computers using iTunes 11.

The feature you're looking for is now called Home Sharing. It's essentially the same as the original sharing feature, but it ties into your Apple ID to ensure that you can only share between your own computers.
In iTunes, just go to File > Home Sharing > Turn On Home Sharing and enter your Apple ID and password. Repeat the same steps on any computers you want to share with (up to 5) using the same Apple ID. Once you do so, all enabled computers will "see" each other and let you stream or copy music between them.
