Hi, I am planning to so something very similar soon, with a external ethernet-connected HD, and about 800 CDs. Does anyone, including you, have an idea as to the easiest way I should go about importing all those Cds into the HD? As to your problem; a former coworker of mine also has the same problem. If you were to open iTunes, then "export the song list" by designating the files in your Itunes Music Folder, what then? Craig W.
