Drive all across country and never hear the same song twice. My HDD drive has now 17 main folders, like Rock folder & POP, Soft Rock, Country, Rap so on. And inside each one has songs or sub folders or both sub folders & songs. Example Rock folder has sub folders like AC-DC folder & Bad Company, Judas Priest, Hammerfall, and so on. Same for the others like POP folder has sub folders too. But not near 1,500 or 15,000 All together i have over 6000 songs on there.
