I'm not sure what key works on a Mac, but if you hold the shift key when you start iTunes in winders, you get a dialog box that lets you create a new library. iTunes then has to go through it's scan process and you have to reselect get artwork but it does give you an easy way to cleanup the data. Then you can just throw away the other account <directory.> The other thing that can be annoying about iTunes is that it identifies a crap-load of albums as Compilations when they really are not <in my mind.> P -- pski real stereo doesn't just wake the neighbors, it -enrages- them..
