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.

    Yes, it does matter. Some of us do indeed collect data for the sake of collecting. I have around 24,000 songs or 105GB worth of music at the moment. I collect digital media like anyone else would collect stamps or baseball cards. I have a text library with 27,000 files (saved a good number of bucks not having to buy novels I've found in there) and something on the order of 8,000 works of art -- Monet, Manet, Dali, Renoit, Bosch, Van Goh -- you name it.

    Unlike that stamp collection, though, these can actually be useful.

    I thought I was doing pretty good with about 5400 mp3's...
