Hi,
Let me try to answer and split tis in few parts:

I have a rather huge I-tunes library - that is now behaving quite weird and has been eschewed by Apple.
How big of a library we are talking about?

I am looking for another app to convert my data base to that will not have me tearing my 2 hairs out and trying to braid them for a noose.
Well, I personally have 200k+ library I collected over 30 years now. MM Library is 17 Years old with its all statistics and playcounts.

I also need all the cover art brought over -much of which I had to scan myself.
That really depends on iTunes library and how much is saved in tags (thus iTunes is known not to save tags in files), but MM tries to import iTunes library. Including playlists (excluding genius playlists that are incompatible with MM format) and ratings.

For now there is no MAC version of MediaMonkey. If that is what you use.

Is there any practical limit to the size of the itunes library I can pull over into media monkey
Recently we have tested 270MB exported "iTunes Music Library.xml" file and it imported 140k of tracks including playlists and in case of problems our team can try to help you thru support to resolve any potential issues you may experience.

Ah also can the physical library be split over several disks?
MM doesn't care where files are. Mine are on NAS for safe keeping, MM5 can even use cloud services (eg. google drive, DropBox, One Drive, ...) to watch over your library.
If I missed something and left it unanswered let me know. Will be glad to correct myself.
