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.
