Well, after months of avoidance, i've finally got all my music onto 1 harddrive.

This is an accumulation of 15 years of music buying, going back to cd's I bought while still at high school, to the latest downloads, and even a couple of vinyl-rips! It's a very varied collection, with Reggae looking like the biggest genre, next to Alternative. Future shuffles should make very interesting listening....just have to spent some time now sorting out the album-art!

How many albums does that come to?

That's what I like best about having put the entire collection on a hard drive and hooking up the computer to the hi-fi. The shuffle opportunities. I have spent a great deal of time categorizing stuff as well which makes it possible to just do "random everything", "random be-bop", "random rock & roll from the 1990's", "random up-tempo contemporary country", or what have you. Love it.

I think if anyone has a look at the "Your MP3 player on shuffle: first 30 songs to come up" thread, they'll see that i'm no stranger to the joys of "random everything"! 🤣
I have to say, I've only got halfway through the letter "a" for the album-art, and already there's been an interesting mix of music (strangely enough - a lot of classical chillout stuff that I don't tend to listen much to lately, but that will change)....
