because, I heard some one whom owns a used record store (cd's) too, has rip everthing he has, and has a team of employee's doing it on and off, (PC based) he would not say what application nor what method he is using. ( but ) it is for marketing of music he sells. So, I thought I would ask, to see where iTunes breaks.... and it woud appear at 32,000 songs, before you would have create a new library.

At approximately 1 hour per CD it would take 2.4 years of listening 24/7 to hear all 21,000 CDs. Unless you're a DJ wanting a massive library at your disposal I just can't understand why anyone would want that much music in their iTunes Library. >Mark Des Cotes S>ystems Manager/Graphic Designer >Astro Printing Service (Cornwall) Ltd. 3>308 Second Street East C>ornwall Ontario Canada K6H 6J8 T> (613) 932-9281 Ext 106, F (613) 932-1052 w>ww.astroprinting.com > >On Mar 28, 2005, at 8:52 PM, James S Jones wrote: >> 21K individual titles or total CDs (that is, there may be duplicates)?
