I have about 15 whole operas, some operettas, plus collections of
symphonies, plus chamber music, plus rock, folk, jazz...and I've set up
playlists to meet different moods and tastes. I think my ipod is about
half full. My wife's ipod is about the same, but with her music on it.
Plus I have our server set up with all the music, accessible throughout
the house and from a distance. When we travel, I upload some movies to
our ipods so we can watch them on the plane.


The guy that bought our old farmhouse sets up "home" entertainment
systems, primarily (believe it or not) on large yachts.

He showed me his personal system that he set up in the farmhouse. It blew
me away. He rips movies from DVDs (not exactly legal) and stores them on
two, 1 terabyte drives. All the equipment, computers, speakers, etc. are
hidden. The only thing you see in his living room is a large, LCD HD
display and a remote control. When they want to watch a movie, he calls
them up using the remote. The box covers are displayed and you scroll
through them or search for a particular name, click on it, and it plays in
superb surround sound. I think he told me he has over 200 movies stored
on it so far and it's not close to being full.

Forgot to mention. A key component of the system he put together is a
Playstation 2 or 3 or whatever they are called. He explained that the
source code for them are easy to hack into and modify for the purposes he
used it.

I don't pretend to understand a tenth of what he was talking about. All I
know is that it is impressive.
