*Yes*, all the songs are legal. I have an enormous cd collection from years of starving as a college student to buy music (something like 12K cd’s in all).
mt-daapd handles them fine. iTunes barfs a hundred kittens on the xml file (it takes about 2 minutes to load and then searches are mind-numbingly slow).

If anyone has any tips on performance, I want to know about them. I plan to upgrade to iTunes7 tonight, but I don’t expect any improvements.
I suppose if I win, I should give out my specs too:
P4-1.8GHz, 512MB RAM, FedoraCore5, 6x250GB PATA drives in software RAID-5, running svn-1348 version of mt-daapd.
