  1. you see how popular you are as a DJ by the number of people using cans. No one is allowed to have personal speakers. The worst days is when the Bon Jovi fans take over the Airport Express. Everybody puts there cans on.
  2. Last but not least, the set-up at my office. Everybody is connected to the Airport Express so anyone can play music trough the main stereo system. Of course only one at the time so if you come early you get to be DJ for the day. IMac (Several) - Airplay - Airport Express - DacMagic 100 - Cambridge Audio azur 840 A, Sony FM Receiver. Speakers : Klipsch RF 83 + RB 81
  3. This is the second set-up at home in the living room. MacBook 15, DACMagic, Apple TV, Wadia 171 digital dock, Amplifier NAD C 375BEE Speakers: B&W 682, Klipsch RB 71
  4. Compared to some set-ups I have seen here, mine are modest set-ups. Still for me they give endless hours of music pleasure. I have 3 set-ups. Two at home (one in the library and one in the living room) and the third in my office. I live in the countryside with no neighbors (great). I shall post in 3 different posts. First, the set-up in the library at home, more of a music room these days. Mac Mini 2012, DACMagic Plus, Amplifier Rotel RA 1520, CD player Azur 651 BD, turntable: Technics SL-1200, SSpeakers Speakers: Klipsch RF 82 + B&W 684, iD100 Digital Dock
  5. Are all of those manual lists? Why don't you use smart playlists? My collection is songcetric and not albumcentric. Although 90% is ripped from CD (ALAC) I only rip the songs I like. I still keep the CD´s in case I want to listen to the whole album. What happens sometimes is you have for example Waterboys and in the same playlist you wish yo have Mike Scott (Which is the same). With smart playlist the tagging does not allow this. I don´t trust the tagging system because sometimes the name of an artist is misspelled and it does not show up. The main idea is to build playlists that only have selected music I really enjoy and that will play for hours. The beauty of computer audio is the easiness to listen to music continuously.
  6. It is time consuming, but it is a hobby so it is a pleasure. The main advantage is you choose your genres the way you like it and not leave it to iTunes to categorize it. It is also very helpful when passing to an iPod so you get perfect playlists to play in the car. My library has 13.000 songs ( 300gb), so the more organized the better.
  7. My folders are organized by the artists first release. If he started in 1999 he will be in the 90´s folder. All the records he releases after that will also be in these playlist. I find it easier to locate artist this way. Also if you choose a decade folder you can put it in shuffle mode and get a continuous playlist of artists from that decade. The reason for creating playlists for artists is due to deficient tagging. Sometimes the same artist is classified under different names or he records solo albums (Supertramp/ Roger Hodgson). Your way of organizing also seems interesting.
  8. Hello Not sure this topic has been covered, but I am interested in knowing how you organize large libraries in your iTunes. I organize with playlists, divided in folders organized by decades and genres. Any idea or different experience ? Some of the folders are in portuguese, but it is understandable in english. I still use ITunes 9 in my main computer, I hate iTunes 11.
  9. I work in the advertising business. I am the owner of an ad agency. This my first post after only reading and learning for last year 1 year
