Reply to Organising iTunes Library: Mixing DJ Singles with Family Albums?

Hi all,

I have a dilemma of sorts:

I am a DJ, and thus have over 1000 singles purchased from Beatport. OK so a few are EP's, but you get the picture. Additionally, I have a nice collection of 'other' albums spanning almost every genre imaginable.

I'm setting up our home network server which shares an iTunes library.

What's the best way to organise this library while combining both the DJ'ing singles, AND the other albums? I fear that if I just place everything into the library, I'll end up with the vast MAJORITY of album art in grid view and album lists being for trance/prog singles.

I know it seems fairly trivial - but believe of it in setting:

Got a family dinner on and I want to use my Apple TV to play an album of some soft rock. I then scan around 1500 - 2000 'album's to find that one album. (I could always 'search' but that's not fun on an Apple TV remote).

Thoughts, ideas?

My other thought was to run TWO iTunes libraries on the server on separate logins, but this would be cumbersome IMHO.

Cheers in advance.
