With Spotify Premium (paid) you can offline sync 1000s of songs, so you can build a playlist, or take another's and download them for playing without an internet connection.
Looking for music? Here's an idea

- Start date
You did say:
If you don't have enough .. then why wouldn't we assume you were going to use these discs? The problem .. nothing on that 75 song set is from the 80's or 90's. If you have intentions of using the 100 song set, very little of that is from the 80's or 90's - and of what is, not many are big hits.
Well no .. but would you have bought a CD set from the 70's for it?
I believe most of us agree on this.
I think you'll find several agree with this as well.

I never stated nor intimated that.
What I posted, was:
Did you not read the last sentence?
Where does that say "never take another event because you may not have a song they want."? (I'll give you hint, it doesn't say that.)
Again, that is not all that you said.
You also said,
That is a statement regarding a specific event , about which that you are clearly and appropriately concerned, and not about buying cheap CD collections, that rarely meet expectations, to deliver on promises to clients.
Regardless, I hope that your purchase was fortuitous...for your client's sake.

I have al my music in separate folders by genre. And I have five genres of country ballads - country ballads 50s - 80's, country ballads 90's, country ballads 2000's, country ballads 2010s and country ballads 2020s.
Told y'all I was a tad OCD. Is there any way I can help here?
you said don't take an event you're not prepared for.
That says (to me) do not any new kind of event, because you imply it's not possible to prepare for something new.
I have many many folders to group songs by decade, genre, use, etc.
I haven't really bothered to separate most of the country stuff - there's slow songs, a few dance songs, the same 10 get requested over and over pretty much, and few school dances or weddings want any country at all.
I spent time at the wedding during dinner and cocktails to separate a lot of the country songs, and will continue to work on it by decade next. Lots of googling on that one as most compilation disks don't rip with the right year.

Then you don't understand simple English or you're too sensitive to appreciate advice to seek assistance.
WHAT I POSTED/WROTE/SAID WAS,
You have to read all words in context and not on hyper-offend-ability alert.
Taken in context, I was clearly and directly suggesting that you seek the assistance of a trusted and reliable fellow performer that has relevant experience and legit country library.
No where in that suggestion is the alleged "do not any new kind of event, because you imply it's not possible to prepare for something new."
What I suspect, and I could be misinterpreting your reactions, is that you are taking offense to the implication that you are selfishly willing to risk your client's satisfaction and event success because you can't/won't appreciate the reality that none of us can know all and it is often better to seek education and assistance from those with better/more experience.
I did not say that but, as a practice, I do not accept events for which I am knowingly un or ill prepared.
In the past, I have been persuaded to take jobs outside my comfort zone and experience level but only did so by informing the client that I would be partnering with or assisted by someone with the necessary experience, knowledge and capacities that I lacked. (Examples provided upon request.)
I don't consider that a weakness. I find it to the most intelligent and mutually beneficial course I could take.
But, youdoyoubooboo!
No, you said it's not advisable to seek or take business that you're not prepared for.
So that means you cannot take any new business ... only what you're taken in teh past. Never done a school dance? sweet 16? can't do them...not prepared so can't take the gig.
Really?
I take gigs I'm not 'prepared for', by your definition, all the time.
First bar gig...first car cruise...are two examples.
Did a quinceneara last year. They are SOOOO rare here there would be no DJ to team up with.
And school dances, ANY teen event (sweet 16, b'day, grad party, etc) requires one to learn all kinds of new music. And it's a real challenge as what plays well on the west side of town may flop on the east side - yet they're still both HS's withing 10 miles of eachother.
I do turn down some events - christian music being one - don't know a darned thing about it.
I''m learning latin music - the quince I did, a cuban wedding, a puerto rican wedding - different music for sure. other than prince royce, the flo rida of the latin world apparently.

...and you wish to take a position in opposition to that?
In that case, I rescind any implication and emphatically state that you are clearly willing to selfishly risk your clients' satisfaction and event success...for whatever selfish reasons you have.
I hope the electrician(s) you might need to hire aren't so cavalier or irresponsible.
Your act of incorrectly restating clear statements in order to debate is folly. If your so incapable, or as I suspect unwilling, to participate in adult discussions, I'll say and waste my time, no more.

Would I take a gig for this weekend that I have no clue about? No likely.
A wedding 6 months from now that wants greek music? I could do that, no problem.
You're assuming, again, that I can't prepare or learn how to do something I've never done before. Perhaps you're projecting?

You fail again.
I never assumed anything, at least not anything you allege.
Perhaps your too defensive.
