(12,132 posts)Like you, I have a music server - over 30,000 songs, but it's at work and includes mine and several other co-workers' music collections. I load everything up in Winamp and hit randomize and listen all day. But it isn't quality listening as I'm working, talking to co-workers, on the phone, etc....but I do periodically get in a mood for something specific and just make a quickie playlist and insert it into the master list.
the nice thing is most of it is also on my google play account so when I'm in my wife's car I can use bluetooth to stream it through my phone. That's better quality listening.
A while back I decided I miss the excitement of getting a new record so I've started buying music on vinyl only. I'm slowly replacing CDs with vinyl and any new music I get is vinyl only. Most of the music I like is being released on vinyl and almost always includes a digital download so I can add it too my server with ease. I do not yet have a working record player - well I have the player, I just don't have a good receiver to hook it up to but I'm working on that too. Meanwhile, I get to open records and see all the cool stuff but still get to listen. I want to get a good A/V receiver to hook up computer, TV, record player, game devices and everything in one so it's easy to listen, play or watch at will.
