Then obviously you are less than well-positioned to give advice as to where and when and for whom it's not applicable. And may be well-advised to seek information as to how it is useful even for sizable libraries. I say this as one who has a collection of several thousand physical CDs and who, though daunted by the prospect of ultimately transferring the entire collection, does have a "gigantic" iTunes library. I use the automated update/synch function. With intelligent use of playlists, it's easy/useful/indispensable. -- Crumpled bits of paper filled with imperfect thoughts - Rutherford/Robertson
