Yeah, 20,000 songs is a bit much alright! Using iTunes on a PC at work
might make more sense. But try out Sharepod, it will enable you to drag
and drop music files from iPod to PC etc like a USB drive would. But you'd
still need to use iTunes to purchase songs from the iTunes Store. However,
I don't know how Sharepod works with protected AAC files, [m4p] from the
iTunes store, as I only use MP3's myself. - More flexible to move around
and they play on any MP3 player, of course!
