I passed 12000 a couple of weeks ago, but then I had to remove a number of duplicates loaded by WinAmp. WinAmp is occasionally infuriating - it is an Open Source tool, and while it is extremely comprehensive, it is not entirely bug-free. The two main issues are:

1. WinAmp will occasionally start to consume 100% of the CPU of the server, which brings the machine almost to a halt. It can take up to 10 minutes to kill WinAmp using Task Manager because the machine is so slow.
2. Occasionally the contents of the iPod revert to the contents from a prior load session, for reasons that are not entirely clear to me.

There are now only about 60 vinyl LPs from my collection that remain unloaded to the iPod. Nearly all of them are all of the way or part-way through the restoration process.
