How can I legally share my entire music collection on-line?

Question

I want to set up a website so I can access my entire music collection over the internet.

Then I got to thinking if could share it with others, I could easily drive traffic and maybe make some money from advertising.

I realize this brings copyright laws into play...

How should I approach this and what can I expect to pay for Blanket Licenses?

PS -- thank you, but I only want to approach this legally.
