SP: "Itunes compared to Winamp, winamp is very fast, simple and can hold more than 500000 pieces of music. Just try the same with Itunes with 10000 tunes." I'm reluctant to add to this off-topic thread but I can't let this one go. I've been using Mac computers since the mid-1990s and iTunes since 2000. I started by converting my collection of CDs (~14000 songs) and added the then-free-and-easy music that was available on the internet. By 2010, I had amassed a sizable collection: http://chesswanks.com/mzk/albums.pdf The numbers are at the top of the first page. Not much since then (I'm at just over 98000 songs, including some 18000 I have never played). I don't recall the last time I had an issue with iTunes in OSX. Perhaps it's because I've always been generous with the RAM on my machines.
