I have 1800 songs or so and not one I don't like so I don't go
searching.. Just like listening to a radio station with no commercials,
and no **** music:0

I have been doing that for 15 years. I never use the radio in my car
and we have MP3s available anywhere in the house.
I still have a lot of songs I don't want to hear all the time.
My "all music" directory is 26.8 gig with 5,625 files and 1408 files
in the "humor" directory but there are some duplicates in there.
I keep around 1000 in a typical play list
I do have a lot of really obscure stuff that I can pull out if it
comes up like Bessie Smith and Billie Holiday records or the Vaughn
Meader "First Family" album. At Christmas I can spool up 16 hours of
holiday music without repeating a cut although some is not really
family friendly.

I am in the process of trying to make a central player that can be
controlled from multiple locations.I already have anywhere with a TV
covered, using the installed cable for the TV.
(Put the TV on channel 69 and you have whatever is playing on the
media PC in the living room). Attach that to a decent amp/speaker
setup and you have something. The trick is controlling it.

Our music is on our server. Accessible on I-devices and computers and TV
sets and away from home via internet. We use iTunes.

I have no problem tagging the songs on the network from a local
player. I was just trying to get a central player that is controlled
from multiple places.
Right now I am playing with an old garage door opener receiver that
hits the "next" button. It lets you spin the wheel from anywhere on
the property. I am scouring the world for old Genie 9 DIP remotes
;-)
