Yeah, I noticed and wanted to ask you “wow, that’s a lot of John Williams recordings… what do you have?” I did check my own (considerable, but not as large as yours) John Williams collection. When I typed in “John Williams”, I get results for 170 albums and 12-13 days long, and so I was wondering what the heck am I missing? My actual “John Williams” albums are fewer, because just typing in “John Williams”, the programs also list compilations such as AMAZING STORIES where Williams appears, plus even unrelated recordings by the guitarist John Williams. I have about 125 albums or 9 days of listening time where the composer “John Williams” is the “Album Artist”.

I don’t have any expansions, so that means less minutes there. But I’ve sorted many of his performance gigs under his name (like the piano gigs of the 50s and 60s), so that ups the minutes a bit (with some exceptions, like the Mancini albums that are sorted under ‘Mancini’). But going into the parameters of sorting is a whole other, complex topic in itself that I won’t delve into here.
