Eric, just curious, how many did he rip before iTunes had a cow. How many songs did this amount to and how much space. I have about 2800 some odd songs running at about 35Gb and I know others have even larger libraries than that. I am not aware of a limit, but it is possible there is. I doubt 400 CDs would be enough to kill iTunes. I wonder if the database got hosed perhaps.
