... and of course iTunes can work with full files, not just encoded MP3 or AAC. Some people don't realize that.
I only have 18,606 "songs" in my studio iTunes... and I love doing my own editing on the database! Even adding what they call "album art" per song. iTunes is very versatile up to a point.

The exported file contains all the fields, most of which are hidden in the typical iTunes install (but can be shown by right-clicking up on the top row of field names). Keep in mind that the purpose of iTunes is to manage individual songs, so you will need to do your own database work on the exported album if you wanted just albums listed. Also keep in mind that information in iTunes that comes from ripped CD's is as good or bad (and, as I've said numerous times here, I consider it more bad than good) as the Gracenote/cddb database, unless the user has done his or her own editing.
