You could create a database like this: ID|USERID|SONGID 1 1 222 2 1 443 3 1 9494 4 2 999 5 2 443 etc...
This can possibly grow to be HUGH ... (100,000 users X 40 = 4,000,000 records). But with stored proceedures and good indexing you should be fine.

I want users to be able to choose 40 of them (probably using checkboxes via a form) and save their preference of these songs to a database. I guess I could always make 40 database fields named song1, song2, song3....., but I figured there must be a better way than that. Any suggestions?
