tryd: Must be interesting to browse in your library, are there any performance issues once the library gets this big? [/B]
Not really. It is almost instantaneous in all cases (except when the disk needs to spin up). I don't touch type, so I watch the keyboard as I type. When I look up at the screen everything has been found.
When I browse by artist or genre there is a short lag, but not more than 1 second from I click on the artist until the list is shown.
The library is on an external 250 GB Maxtor FireWire disk. The machine is a 17" PB.

How many CD's do you have in how many albums?
I have 120 Albums totaling like 140 CD's I think. I need to rip the CD's I got for X-mas when I get home and add a few I am getting when I get home.
The more interesting question is how they're acquired, I think. For example, in Canada we have the legal right to copy from friends/family, and to download from the Internet (!). Haven't bought any from iTunes yet (waiting, Apple).
My breakdown would go something like:
D. 1500 personal ripped, 2800 friends/family ripped/shared, 200 downloaded.
I have 120 Albums totaling like 140 CD's I think. I need to rip the CD's I got for X-mas when I get home and add a few I am getting when I get home.
I have about 2400 CDs organized in 4513 albums (1159 artists). It is difficult to tell exactly how many CDs there are - I haven't counted them for a while .
It is mostly classical music (a lot of opera) - around 2000 CDs, with the rest pop and rock.
