iTunes Tops Out At 32,000 Songs

Posted by pudge on from the mo-mp3s dept.

usr122122121 writes "A Macintouch User has discovered that iTunes maxes out at 32,000 songs." I did test this myself (a one-liner perl script to give each file a unique artist/album/title), and it's apparently true. How much it matters is an exercise left to the reader.

    I'm sure they'll come out with a patch sometime in the next 12 weeks, 4 days, 21 hours, and 20 minutes.

    (Oops, 15 minutes. It took me a few to divide.)

    Wow! That's a lot of CDs. At around 15 songs a CD and $15 a CD, that means you must have spent at least $32,000 on CDs!

    Well, at least the RIAA will be happy...

    personally, I just keep track of all my MP3s with a big spiral notebook.

    Want to listen to Pink Floyd? Just flip over to "P" and look up the filename.

    of course, you have to re-do it when you add new songs, but it only takes 3-4 days.

    Respect to pudge for actually taking the time to run a test to verify the story.

    Respectable journalism exercised by Slashdot? Is that a pig flying past my window?

What a troll...not even funny any more.
