65K?!  My own library is about 500GB (lossless 16/44.1 FLAC mainly, but
also some 24/96 FLACs - which sound fantastic on the Touch, by the way).
Many people have reported stability issues with large libraries (just
check some reviews on Amazon). I have had such issues too, which are
much reduced by splitting my collection into separate drives.  But this
is a "workaround" rather than a real solution.

My Freecom drives don't sleep when left connected to the Touch, but
maybe that's just those ones.  That's just a side issue though.  I have
to disconnect the drives periodically to change collections, because
large collections make the Touch unstable.
