Whats the biggest CD collection that MP3 Boss supports? Is there a limit to the number of files or drives?

As far as I know, the largest collection that has been scanned so far consisted of over 150GB of MP3 files (approx. 60,000 files) spread out over multiple local drives, networked drives, and CD’s. One system is running with over 20 local and networked drives, and well over 100 CD’s. Since MP3 Boss is based on the Microsoft Access runtime engine, a practical limit is a 1GB database (the physical limit is 2GB). Based on the size of a 30,000 file database, a 1GB database could hold information on almost 2 MILLION MP3 files (anybody have 10 Terrabytes of disk space for those MP3 files?). There shouldn’t be any practical limit to the number of drives that MP3 Boss can support.
