Based on the way it numbered the kmas Im at the limit of 1 million files. The boobkid numbering should have use "1" as the root for the first one. example, 101,102,103,104,105, ect then 2001,202,203,204,205,206, and so on. It's dropping all the availible numbers between 101 and 199 before using 201.

Actually you are not looking at this correctly. It starts with 101, the first digit being Book 1 and the last 2 being track numbers 01-99 so those numbers are available, but only if you have 99 tracks on your CD. The next book is 201, and so on. This equates to 99 tracks on up to 9,999 disks as the Book number is up to 4 digits and the track numbers are two digits. So you are limited to 989,901. I really don't think you will ever run out of numbers.
