"Can I come over sometime?"

Anytime.

I've used my collection to parse together some of the greatest music in what I've called a collection of theme-based compilations.
The idea was to make premade radio programs in the advent I ever do acquire a small FM radio station out here where I live, in the boonies.
The farmers would go nuts if they tuned-in as they planted and/or harvested operating some fairly luxurious $250,000+ John Deere machines. {g}

These compilations are made up of & include individual cuts from the greatest classic rock, jazz, blues, country ("old" country...real old) & far-out ( :o) ) contemporary [read: electric, ie, "Hawkind" et al type material] music our culture's ever produced, IMO.
Never know what'll come up next on the EMA collection, just that it'll have a common theme whatever it is. :^)

To date I've 52 albums (CDs) in this collection, two on the board blocked-out ready to assemble & burn soon as the weather turns nasty & I've time.

The really fun part was for an old timer like myself learning how to convert the CDa discs to MP3 files, then reburn, which I've done.
A LOT of trial & error, believe me.

But since my both my bride's & my (main) cars have 6 disc changers it means many, many hours of uninterrupted music far & away better than anything XM of Sirius {sp?} w/could ever offer.
Infinitely more unique, easily.

So if you're in or live the newly crowned Liberal-Socialist state of Wisconsin?

...c'mon down. ;^)

Your project sounds like a lot of fun, Landru. Let me know if you need an editor. ;-) Unfortunately, I don't get out Wisconsin way much but I do appreciate the offer for a visit.

By the way, you may have me beat in terms of your collection (I've got about 25,000 songs), but I've got you beat in terms of car tunes. I installed a computer in the trunk and a touch screen in my dash so I can take my entire collection with me. I could drive for for almost two months without hearing the same song twice.
