beaTunes twice. However, if you install iTunes twice you will also
get two different beaTunes libraries.</p>

<p>the beaTunes installation consists of two parts:</p>
<ul>
<li>the actual application</li>
<li>the database</li>
</ul>
<p>The application can be launched from either Win7 or XP. This
shouldn't be a problem.<br>
The database is located in your home directory. Now if your home
directory differs in Win7 as opposed to XP, you will have two
databases.<br>
Also, if your iTunes is not exactly the same, you will have two
databases anyway, as the library id will differ.<br>
So in essence it depends on how you use iTunes and whether you use
the same home directory under both OSs.</p>
<p>To avoid trouble, I'd simply reinstall in both OSs.</p>
