Mine are stored in piles and boxes all over the place! I have absolutely no classification system whatsoever. It makes finding a CD Hell. But it's also fun to suddenly come across a CD I've not heard for ages. One of these years I'll have to get around to sorting them all out (who am I kidding?).

I try to keep them together by Artist. Dosen't matter after that. 

Also, huge piles of CD's are also very common here.

2000 classical music CDs, alphabetical by composer (only operas separately).

1200 pop/rock CDs, alphabetical by artist/band.

150 new age/crossover CDs, alphabetical by artist/band.

200 jazz CDs, mainly sorted in instrimental versus vocal.

500 mandarin pop/rock CDs sorted by my wife. God knows what system....

By band, alphabetically, then broken into chronological order. I've got upwards of 300 prog CDs now and about 500-600 rock, pop, blues, country, compiliations and such. If they weren't in alpha order, I'd never find what I'm lookin' for.  I have piles and piles of MP3 discs that I need to go through and figure what can stay (because I haven't bought it legally) and what needs to go (since I now have a legal copy).

I keep my prog/jazz/instrumental music seperate from the other stuff... my kids never put stuff back where they got it and they don't touch my prog collection, except for Pink Floyd, of course.

Given a collection of some 250 CDs how would you store them? Alphabetical makes them easier to find. Chronological gives you a better idea of what was around at certain eras, (some surprises there). Could just chuck 'em in any old way and take pot luck.

How do you store yours?
