Multiple Apple devices, multiple Apple Id, 1 PC ?

Multiple Apple devices, multiple Apple Id, 1 PC ?
Experienced IT / Apple device people please

We are a family of 6, with a least 3 devices (iphones, ipods, ipads) each. With a huge music library (70 Gb) as well as individual music bought via itunes etc.

Each user has their own Apple Id. (Not worried about the icloud IDs)

This is getting silly and I don't want to manage a TB - 70GB x 6 x 2 (original music plus itunes libraries)

I would create a login for each user with a shared library but Apple in their wisdom has limited any one Apple Id to 10 devices which can't be changed less than every 90 days.

I have a old but function desktop I'd like to install the whole thing onto.

The only way I can see to do it is to install 6 copies of Windows (probably 2000 to save activation issues) as multiple boot (yes I know how to do it) to avoid Apple thinking it's the same PC and having a shared library on an extended partition

Does anyone have any better solutions / experience facing similar problems ?

Thanks in advance
