7850 songs 24 days 33.48G

I only have a 40G ipod so I'm holding off on getting much more.

How does this "lossless" work? Can you compress your existing itunes library? And in turn compress the files on the ipod? I'm running the 4.8 itunes now.

Apple Lossless is another type of compression. It is only good for importing CDs. It will keep the exact quality of the CD but can reduce the file size by up to 50%. It won't work to convert your mp3s or aacs.

Going up towards 60K songs. iTunes doesn't really work well with that amount of songs.....

In what way?

Well, it is just not responsive if you go over.. say 20k songs. I have a 1.8 ghz iMac G5, and I get the spinning ball a lot. It was better for a while in iTunes 5, but now I don't know...

huge

i have 31,441 songs for 87.1 days at 338.26gb, all from cd rips using itunes at 320aac with all cover art included at 600by600 resolution. i use an external hd 400gb with only 30gb left, i think i need a bigger 500gb or terabyte at least for next year.
 
There's another thread around here with a similar subject. I have a little over 34,000 songs.
 
138.17 Gb

I have 138.17 GB of music in itunes, It says 23678 items or 70.7 days of music. All of it is from cds and in ordered. 70-75% has album art and I have yet to buy from itunes music store.
 
i've probably posted in this thread before, but my library's size will have changed since then, i imagine.
5706 items, 14:17:20:51 total time, 19.94gb
wrt actual music: 5702 items, 14:16:33:32 total time, 19.71gb
most of my videos aren't in a format itunes can read, and i just find it easier to organize them by hand (along with photos), despite my hatred of organizing music by hand.
 
I recently shrank my music from ~4500 songs to just under 1900 @ 8.2 GB. There was too much stuff that I never really listened to.

My goal's to have a collection that I can put on shuffle and just let it be for a while, without getting annoyed at the songs that pop up...
