Assuming you're referring to the parent comment's 100GB drive (or even the 256 GB one) that's really not true. A quick `du -sh` tells me I have right at 100 GB of FLAC music, and I've easily listened to every single track. There are, in fact, only 3770 tracks. At an average of 4.5 minutes a song (guessing), that's only around 11.8 days of music. About 8 hours a day of music for a month! Or to calculate it another way, a typical FLAC stereo track might run about 800 kbps or 100 kB/s. 100 GB will let you store 11.6 days of music at that bitrate, which is just about the same total I got for my collection above.

To be fair, the parent said "impractical to navigate using a common stereo UI" which doesn't have much to do with the capaciousness of a library, more about how easy it is to browse/search/find/choose what you want. Some stereos have pretty small, monochrome displays. For example this seems to get mentioned a lot in the UK, partly because they are advertised through mainstream channels at older listeners: https://www.brennan.co.uk/ https://www.brennan.co.uk/ Dunno if you call them "common".
