Hey, the new guy here!
This massive music library has been a problem for me for the last couple of years. Once I converted all my music to digital, I now sit on 650GB worth of music. I believe we can all agree the iTunes is simply incapable of effectively handling a collection this size.
I have, in the past, tried to 'split' my library into several directories - but in the end this is just not a practical solution. All my music is 'filed' as artist - album - song : with the only exception of 'Soundtracks and Compilations'. Just going through the collection to re-organize it would be a huge undertaking.
I believe it is time for me to create my own solution to this mess. I was thinking of a mySQL db and a web front end .... I have about 7 weeks off work this summer and I plan on spending some time on this every day until I have a solution. Any comments or suggestions are welcome.
Friggin' iTunes!
