300 disc cd changer ?
i'd be wary of it swallowing all my cds and not letting them out.

so you can listen to the 200 cd mozart 225 boxset in one go without having to get up to change discs.

Luddites version of a music server? The inter island ferry requires a spare anchor? In one of my systems it would be useful to have 300 (400 would be better)of the more played discs easily and quickly accessible I have never yet come across a music server that I would want to own (Well out of touch with modern servers but all the old ones would benefit from a frustration instigated strong impact from a 4lb hammer prior to being placed into a recycle bin) By the time a server has woken up and then you used a keyboard and screen to scroll through the various menus looking for the title one seeks the earth has rotated quite a few degrees on its axis. Then the mongrel thing will possibly malfunction. Guess servers will one day be ready for me - unfortunately the current machine/human interfaces are intolerably poor. Properly reworked the D/A section of the little Sony creation can sound ok. 
Trust your ears.

Try streaming on Tidal and having favorites in a playlist. My Windows 10 (Surface Go) computer starts up in about 10sec and is playing music by 20sec.
I have had nightmares thinking about the mechanisms in multidisc cd changers I used to repair years ago! AMR-iFi R&D

Hi Colin
Thank you for the advice. Last time I streamed the quality of the music (Recording/mastering) on my gear was intolerable for more than background music. I will give streaming another go when time permits. An audio colleague streams a lot of his music and his system copes well and sounds fine with the stream. I was somewhat concerned about the complexity of a multidisc player - my previous experiences with them has ended in frustration as they have all failed at some point in time. (My preference is to keep things simple - the current favoured player has no transport)
Trust your ears.
