I have 65807 files in my music library.  I am starting to have problems.  I ripped a new CD.  It is in my recently ripped playlist, and accessible to play from the playlist, but not in the Library listing, under the artist.  I tried to import the folder into the library, and also ran an automatic scan of my music files, neither brought in these files to the Library.

There's no known limit.  It's at least a few million.

The artist is probably not what you think it is.  Try using search.  Try putting the CD in again to see what the artist is.

I'm fairly sure there's a known limit around 2^31

Try looking at albums or files in your music tree sorted by "Date Imported". You can do this quickly by clicking on that field (column) in the files display.

They should then appear at the top of you list!

Clever (though I did have to use Google )

Wouldn't the amount of disc space available for the MC Database to use infer that a lower limit could get imposed, especially if the "Waveform" field was populated.

Napkin* math for 2^31 songs:
- with an average of 5 minutes per track, the database with waveforms would "only" require about 10 TB of disk storage
- the same amount of songs at 320 Kbps would require 24 PB of storage, so the DB size would still be irrelevant 
- it would take about 20000 years of continuous play to to listen all those songs
- are there actually that many songs in the world already? (it's likely, it's only 0.25 songs per living person)
