...a milestone reached...

wonder where this will end. On the weekend I hit 20,050 songs in my iTunes library. 131 gigabyles of data. Almost 57 days of continuous music.

If I were ever offered a last meal, I asked to listen to music as I ate.

The thing is I still have stacks and stacks of CDs to rip and add to my library. I'm storing all these files on a 1 TB external hard drive. There's a second drive for back-up. There's enough space left for about 140,000 songs. If I ever fill up the hard drive, I'll be amazed.

...a new plateau on iTunes...

continue to add albums (of course, they're called CDs) to my iTunes library and I went past both the seventeen thousand song mark and 100 gigabytes.

The numbers seem small and I have many more CDs to add.

This can't be good, but I do like to listen to music and these days, it's rarely anything played over the radio.

...my iTunes genius mix...

thought I'd share my iTunes Genius mix page. As I add CDs, I update my mix and sometimes get different album art and a different order. The more I play a certain mix, the higher up it is in the order. That much I have figured out. The other factor appears to be the number of songs you have for a category. By far I have more Jazz and Jazz Vocal songs than pop or rock and they are ranked at the top.
