I am trimming my iTunes library, getting rid of duplicate tracks, fixing naming irregularities, and finding cover art for everything.

45,000 tracks starting NOW.

I would do that... but 73,324 songs would take too long

I always fix name irregularities as soon as I put them in iTunes, much easier that way

^ But a lot of times they look exactly the same, and it's not until I put them in my iPod and look for them that I realize it's filed them differently.

Have you looked into tuneup? You can get it done for you for relatively cheap.

Why the hell would I pay someone else for this?

Because it is one of the best downloads available for anyone with a substantial amount of music? Because it will save you time and effort? Because it does a damned good job? Because it is cheap?

http://www.tuneupmedia.com/

I've talked to several people who are more than just casual computer users/music listeners, and every single one of them swears by it. But hey, fuck my suggestion.

I mean, I can see why someone without time or inclination would use it, but I have plenty of both.

Must be nice. Personally, I'd rather keep that several hours of my life and shell out 20 bucks for it to be done for me.

Also, I have a bunch of quirks with my organization system that I don't want erased. For example, everything I've seen suggests that my way of labeling the SCORE! compilations is wrong, but I don't care.

i just keep my music in folders, so i have no idea how many songs/artists/albums i have total. but i think i could give tuneup quite the workout.
