How to import a large mass of music to itunes.

Question

Hi, I recently recieved a lot of music from my brother to import onto my itunes. I had roughly 12,000 items on an external folder to import onto itunes, but when i "added the folder" only about 6,000 of the items made it on itunes. I couldn't see why itunes would only import half of the music. Is it perhaps too much music to import at a given time? I haven't been able to find a solution. I'd appreciate a response!

Hi Blushadow,
I have to clean it before loading it into the final table, as the records got splitted in to multiple line, along with delimiter and with out delimiter. remember for this you have given me a script to clean a week back ( Re: help needed for correcting records in a table )
with res as (select dtt_id,
                    txt,
                    ceil(sum(length(txt) - length(replace(txt, '|'))) over (order by dtt_id)/4) grp
             from   t), -- assuming that your table is called t.
   final as (select replace(sys_connect_by_path(txt, '$'), '$') full_txt,
                    level
             from   res
             WHERE CONNECT_BY_ISLEAF = 1
             connect by grp = prior grp
             and        dtt_id = prior dtt_id + 1)
select case when length(full_txt) - length(replace(full_txt, '|')) = 11 then full_txt end full_txt
from   final
where  case when length(full_txt) - length(replace(full_txt, '|')) = 11 then full_txt end is not null;
IN TSQL  I have used the below script for the above task, as finally I want to load this file to sql
DECLARE @max bigint,@c  bigint
SELECT @max = MAX(rn),@c = 1 from @X
DECLARE @targ varchar(max)
WHILE @max <> 0
BEGIN
      SELECT @targ = txt FROM @X WHERE rn = @max
      IF (@targ not like '%|%|%|%|%')  -- | = number of delimiter in the file
      BEGIN
            UPDATE @X SET txt = txt+@targ WHERE rn = @max - 1
            DELETE FROM @X WHERE rn = @max
      END
      SET @max = @max - 1
