First I've heard of an instance.  Under 7.0.X there was an iPod corruption problem but that has been fixed in 7.1 and again in 7.2.
 
 In my 2+ years of using iTunes with Windows XP my library file has been corrupted three times and under Vista in the last 9 months it has yet to happen, but I expect it given the size of the file.

what's your solution?  seems like when i let it "fix itself", it left out thousands of songs and all my playlists ... i have a backup somewhere but i would still be missing a good chunk of stuff from that

In one of the 17 other threads about iTunes on this board, I posted how to backup your playlists for easy import into a new/recreated library.  I'll see if I can find it.
 
 I also mark the box to have iTunes automatically copy the files to the iTunes folder so in the event I have to rebuild a new library, iTunes only has to check one folder and it never misses a song.
