I really need to spend some time & load up all my CD's to my PC.
And boy is it a LOT of time! I'm overly organized (borderline OCD) about how mine are imported so it's taken MONTHS to get it as far as I have. Now I may have a lot more than most people, but still... In addition to the most basic information (which rarely seems to get imported correctly let alone in the format I prefer), I add a main genre, all subgenres, the artist(s) country(s), sometimes related artists, etc. It generally takes about eight hours to import, fix, add additional information and covert to the mp3 resolution I use per 1,000 songs. So far I have over 167,000 songs imported (into MediaMonkey, the other media players can't handle huge collections) with about 140,000 more to go!
Can't wait until it's finally done though. I already have lots of auto-playlists for whatever sounds interesting at the time (like one for "Space Rock," one for "Gothic Rock," one for "Power Female" singers, etc.). I can then load these onto one of my media players and pop them into stereos around the house. I can also stream directly from MediaMonkey to devices including any TV hooked up to Direct TV. Lots of options.
