lol, I have almost 50 Gigs of music now and over 100 in old time radio 
shows. Then there's some TV shows I downloaded.
I learned long ago, Itunes will cause most of the problems with other audio 
programs I have so I got rid of it. I use anapod to work with my ipod. I've 
also read of other problems Itunes causes for people, it just wants to take 
over the system it looks like where music is concerned. Getting rid of that 
was 1 of the best things I ever did.
