You're not copying the whole collection across each week are you? Just
syncing the two? (rsync or something else...) It should only take a few
hours the first time, after that it'll depend on how much has changed
but I'd be surprised if it took more than a few minutes.

Backup solution – firewire drive that I copy to once a week and take
into the office to use there.
The copying of this much data will take a good few hours but this
solution work quite well.
Make sure you have an SATA drive or SCSI on IDE you could multiply the
iTune times by a factor of 2-4.
Re DVD – guess it depends if he wants the convenience of all the music
easily accessible in one place or the quality and cost.
If money is no object a big box with loads of scsi drives and lossless
compression would be the best solution.

I have put over 8k sounds under iTunes and saw sluggishness as the XML
database that it had to keep up was getting quite large. I imagine
your 30k of songs will push it to the limit, but I don't know for sure.
Advice: Get a fast hard drive and lots of RAM for use as the O/S tries
to cache the writes.

Can anyone give me any tips on dealing with 30k or so worth of songs?
I have a client who has a HUGE CD collection and wants to take the cream
of the crop and put them on a 250gig or 300gig HD for his listening
pleasure.
I'm hoping the 6.0 release will ease up the time it takes to search and
generate large playlists. Is there any danger of filling the disc that
contains the music library, yes we're using iTunes, completely? Does the
slimserver need space to store data?
Will I need to even use the iTunes library with 6.0? It seems like the
slimserver will have its own db of songs, no?
Thanks,
Chris
