iTunes Tops Out At 32,000 Songs
from the mo-mp3s dept. posted by pudge on Monday February 17, @00:05 (media) http://apple.slashdot.org/article.pl...3/02/17/036240 usr122122121 writes "A [1]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.

more calc.exe work for ya:
32000 mp3's, at 5mB per file... that's 160,000mB or 156.25gB you would need a pmac with 2 hard drives to get this many mp3's... or an xserve. lol... and i think with 32000 mp3's, you should have stopped using itunes and started using xmms or something. lol... lets think about 32000 mp3's for a moment. and do some more math. my avg play time for one mp3 is 4 minutes. 32000*4 = 128000 / 60 = 2133.33 / 24 = 88.88 days of music. unique music. lol... and if you have that many mp3's, i will murder you and steal your comp :devil |

32,000 is definitely more than I have, but it doesn't sound ridiculous. I'll probably be there in a couple years. Some people have been collecting music for years and have massive collections. I have a friend with over 3,000 CDs. He'd probably be right around the 32,000 limit if he ever ripped them all.
I think people are complaining because it seems like it would be easy enough to write software that would avoid any sort of limiting problem. |
