It isn't....and you just changed the goalposts. Let's take just one track from my collection: Artist Name: 65daysofstatic Track Title: The Distant & Mechanised Glow of Eastern European Dance Parties Album Title: The Destruction of Small Ideas ...just broke your reasonable limit and that's without anything including track number, genre, date, total tracks or any number of other common fields. yes you have shorter fields but 100 as a reasonable average, come on I think not. The track title may be slightly longer than average but the Artist Name and Album Title certainly aren't. My collection is very well organised thanks.
