Itunes Not Loading Music

[topslop1]

When I click on my music folder as a directory to be added to Itunes - Containing all of my music, 12,000 tracks ripped from an extremely large CD collection - Itunes will only load about 3,000 of the tracks onto its list and ignore the others. How can I get Itunes to load all of my music at one time?

Also, I can load all of the music fine into winamp. What's the deal?

Itunes is notoriously buggy with large collections.

Break the stuff up into different folders, with ~2500 in each folder. Then add each folder one at a time. Tedious, but it will get the job done.

Oh wow, what a pain in the arse. I downloaded and installed the winamp feature that allows sending to my ipod but I haven't played around with it yet as I'm waiting on the pod that Santa has.

It was new news to me that something other than itunes could transfer music.

hmm, before i had a clearout i had 15000+ tracks and iTunes didn't do this, have you tried reinstalling the application?

btw you can also use "anapod explorer" to update your iPod

IIRC, that winamp plugin still requires that itunes is installed....unless things have changed.
