Music Collections: How Do You Keep His and Hers Separate?
Posted by Damion Chaplin in "CONTENT" @ 08:00 AM
"I suspect that every couple faces this problem, to one degree or another. So I thought I'd throw it open for comments and suggestions. I like my music. My wife likes hers. There's some subset of tunes that we both enjoy equally, but it's a classic Venn diagram. It's a huge collection - more than 14,000 songs in all, in who knows how many albums. And we can play any track, any album, or any custom playlist throughout the house, thanks to Windows Media Center and a couple Media Center Extenders. Unfortunately, our Media Center setup doesn't support multiple accounts, so there's no "yours, mine, and ours" option. (If you have a Roku SoundBridge or a similar device, you have the same problem.) So how to filter the list? I have a few ideas I've thought of using, all of them a little on the kludgey side..."

Ed Bott poses a good question: How do you keep his and her tracks seperate? Personally, I've really never had this problem. My wife and I don't really feel the need to keep our music seperate. Yes it's 60GB of music, but how hard is it to just scroll down to the artist, select an album and hit play? But I know I don't necessarily represent the general population ( :wink: ) , so what about you? Do you have problems keeping you and you're mate's music seperate? What steps, if any, have you taken to deal with it?
