The media server has separate libraries by genre... Jazz, Classical, Country Western, Rhythm and Blues, etc... plus one "best of" library that plays 24/7 and streams through the house by wifi. There is a bit of duplication in the libraries. It's hard to avoid it, but if I add up the times of all the libraries it comes out to over a year. I have more digital files in back up, but I ran out of steam working on the server, so it's staying there for now.The record wall is in disarray right now and may never get back to an organized state. It was all on order by genre and artist when I kept it in a storage warehouse. But when I moved into my new house, it was enough to just ask my friends to move all of it. If I had asked them to keep it in order they would have killed me. It's sorted by media at least... LPs, 12 inch 78s, and 10 inch 78s.I just got my screening/listening room finished and I open it up twice a month to the members of the non profit organization I work for. We watch movies and listen to music. I have a really nice toy wall too, but I have collector friends with toy collections that make mine look like nothing.I come from a family of collectors and my friends are all collectors, musicians and artists. My job is pretty predictable. I'm the director of a non profit archive. I know a couple of weird collectors, but I tend to not get along with them too well. I'm a practical soul and I like to see my collection be useful to others, not just me.
