Have you ever tried listen to your music collection by the date? Or just some decade (for example 60' or 70')? I'm making a chart (day, month, year) and I have currently about 800 albums. I miss some dates so if someone has a similar table, we can make exchange.

| Me neither. Why would I listen to my CDs in date order? |

I tried this a couple times back in the day but usually got bored before a single day was out, let alone how long it would take me to actually go through my collection chronologically. My collection is catalogued at RYM so it's pretty negligible to view it sorted by date.

I don't think I could do this. Too much sorting.

I have been going through my collection alphabetically by band for the past few years. I tend to listen to each band in chronological order, but I don't track the specific dates of release, just the years.

| Since some of my records are anthologies from bands or even record catalogues, it would be rather complex to range my records by the date: in which decade could I classify a compilation of Deep Purple or Black Sabbath going from the late 60's to nowadays? |

I've got over 1500 CDs now. In about the mid '90's I started to log them in to Excel, but I didn't start including added dates unil 1999. I was just doing an alphabetical sort every 100 titles and then numbering them in a batch. I've never done an acquisition order listening exercise, partly because I haven't kept up with that but also because I don't find that mode particularly interesting as I already did that in real time. Right now I'm doing a reverse chronological shuffle. It's 1998, so I pull all of those titles into a separate spreadsheet and use the RANDBETWEEN function to pick the listening order. Of course I'm not too anal about it. I'll skip a title and come back to it if I'm not in the mood for it when it comes up, but I'll complete the year before moving on to the next one. Again not being anal about it, I will intersperse the randomized revearse year listening with whatever the hell I want to listen to if I don't want to do the title the randomizer comes up with. In the end my goal is to be sure that sooner or later everything gets listened to, or there's no point in having them in my collection. Unfortunately the titles I would be most likely to sell of wouldn't fetch much. ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

I don't bother to rate anything, big waste of time in my opinion. You know whether you like anything or not. What's the damned point? Are you trying to impress others?

| Not really, but some days or periods I may be more in the mood for older stuff or for Neo or for modern stuff etc, so when that happens it can be that I am listening to several albums from the same period in a short time, but it's not actually deliberated or planned nor in any particular sequence. |

Not really, but you don't have to type the album names in, you find the page for that album and click the "I Own It" button. If you own lots by the same artist, you can catalogue them all pretty quick.

My collection, would start with Gregorian Chants and the 16th century ... Albinoni, Vivaldi ... and others ... and it would take a while before I arrived at 1960!

| Ooooooooooh nope - that would be kind of difficult. What I listen to and when kind of depends on what mood I want irrelevently of recording date. Right now I'm listening to "Ghost Town" by Poco - just before that it was Gazpacho's "March of Ghosts" album. Last night I felt like something really old by today's standards and I spooled up some Sinatra. |

I was going to do this but found the logistics unworkable. Do classical composition get listened to by recording date, release date of the album or composition date? Some of the works in my collection have uncertain composition dates and have been released on mltiple albums so it makes it hard. I am currently listening ti my library in alphabetical order by song, which is nice, and in the past I have done shortest song to longest which was awesome (took a full year) -------------

Took me a little while to fathom what this thread was about (I'm not sure I fully understand it actually)Simple answer really: I don't catalogue anything in my life - maybe I should, but I don't. I have my collection on the shelf - I see no gain in writing down which ones I own -how old they are and whatnot, I mean, they're right there for everybody to see(and hear). I have however had countless of listening sessions, where albums made around the same time get airplay. I don't think about it though... I think this is an area of anal behaviour, where we as a gender brush up against what I overtly and quite disrespectfully call the feminine madness. "Let's put everything into nice and neat boxes, so as we can find it again without too much of a hassle" We tend to do this with music, most women I've met do this with relationships. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.
