Heh. I just passed 13,000 songs in my iTunes library, and sometimes I still feel like that.
I have become one of those people who say, "That's all?" whenever someone lists the number of songs in their iTunes library.
I try
really hard
not to say it, though! I suppose that doesn't earn me any points.
But yeah, like tommyrot, I need one of the shiny new 160GB iPods, because deciding what music gets on my wee iPod can get pretty vicious.
My iTunes library fits comfortably on an 8GB iPod Touch, and I'm okay with that. I pretty much only listen to podcasts these days anyway.
I am not looking forward to burning all the CDs I need to to back-up my iTunes library. I think I am going to give myself a week to cull as much as I can. I have at least a thousand song on there that I have never listened to.

I think ND now has more music than will fit on a 160GB iPod.

ND has enough music that God Himself goes "Dude" then hits Shuffle and zones.

I'd just get a big external hard drive for backup. They're getting pretty cheap these days (especially when you compare the cost to the hassle of backing up your music on many CDs).
yeah, I just paid over $800 for data recovery. I want a non-HD back-up.

I would die. I say that melodramatically, with a little first world swoon thrown in just for kicks.

I would've been so disappointed if he didn't. My world would have been askew.
I had to pick and choose which songs would go on the iPhone. Now the 16GB is out, and would be fine. But, I do not have it. My dad is making noises about getting an iPhone. I'm thinking about telling him that I'll pay the extra $100 if he gets a 16GB, and give him my 8GB, all set up.

Well, with a HD backup, you just have to make sure your back-up HD is working. If it dies, you gotta run out and buy another one right away. So there's a gamble that you might have to spend $ in the future for a new drive, plus the slight risk of your iTunes library dying on your machine before you can replace the back-up HD. OTOH I've had old backup CDs of music become unreadable....
The ideal solution?
Two
back-up HDs. Or, you know, a disk array of some sort.
I think as people rely more and more on iTunes (or similar) for their music, and as HD prices continue to fall, you'll see more and more people having multiple HDs for backup.
