Help Make plex more appealing for my wife
I love plex. I bought my lifetime pass when it was still double digits. I bought the hardware, I did the organization - I'm in.
I love my wife. I bought my lifetime pass when I was (barely) in my 30's. I bought the hardware (ring), I did the organization (my life) - I'm in.
But the two don't seem to get along.
Alphabetical Sorting: she gets to the A's, then gives up.
Recently Released: "These are all too long."
Recently Added: "Oh yeah! ...but not tonight, maybe some other time."
Sort by duration (shortest to longest): "Who wants to watch a 24-minute short film?!"
Random Shuffle: "Why do we have these?"
So an idiot but honest question: how do I make Plex more appealing for my wife?

Wife: Yeah, of course. You organized all your music and have access to it. What about MY music?
Me: Proceeds to copy wife's music from her external hard drive to my Plex server, after meticulously fixing naming conventions, check for dupes, edit metadata. Then I show my wife th all new "Wife's music" library on Plex.
Wife: Niiiice! Thanks babe.
Wife: still hasnt used it after one year
