Q: Is the 25,000 song limit fixed in concrete or are there palns to increase the number.  That being said I have almost 31000 songs in my library.  I own approx 3500 CDs.  How do I differentiate between these and iTunes purchases?

I currently have nearly 31,000 songs in my iTunes library.  I would like to take advantage of the "Match" feature, but it limits me to 25,000 songs.  At this point I don't know how to differentiate between songs that I have purchased through iTunes and songs that I have ripped from the CDs that I own (+/- 3500). 

Are there plans to increase this limit?  I don't know what to do about this dilemma, short of deleting 6000 songs.  That doesn't seem like a viable option (however at this point in my life, I probably don't even know which of some of the old songs I have anymore and probably wouldn't miss them even if I did delete them)

Advice, opinions, or viable options would be greatly appreciated.

    Right now the limit is what it is, 25,000 tracks. Tracks purchased from the iTunes Store do not count against that number. Whether Apple has any plans to increase that limit none of us here, who are all just fellow users, will know. We'll have to wait and see.
