Stuff you gotta do.  I wait until I've got about 10 new CDs to put up though.

I'm sorry, you keep one of your hands in a safe? (Pardon my dark humor.)

I have a rare medical condition which made me born with a third hand that was removed when I was a newly-born. Yet, this hand was kept by the medics as my parents asked them. A few years later, this hand was given back to my family in order to be bewitched. Then, my parents learned me how to use telekinetic powers so I could use this hand as it was my own "Thing", a bit à la Addams Family. So, yes, my third hand is in the safe, armed with a gun. And it DOES know how to aim, thanks to my cosmic third eye.

I have a few hundred CD's, but all the stuff's on the computer and that's how I listen to music mostly. These days I usually buy digitally- the CD's I want are all overseas usually, or are just unjustly expensive here in Israel, so I just buy from Itunes or Bandcamp or what not. The CD's are in shelves in a general clusterf**k, though there is some sort of section for prog and non prog and stuff.

In jewel cases and strewn about my apartment. Got Czukay's "Movies" and Mahavishnu Orchestra's IMF in my bedroom drawer, the Mac's "Rumours" and a collection of Bach's pieces right nearby, The Temptations, Bob Marley, Moz., Beet., and Bach in a cell of a "shelf" unit, and Andrea Bocelli in my CD case. What did I forget?

What I can't stand is those shelves or racks with individual slots for each CD, in which if you want to keep some order, everytime you buy a new CD you have to move half of them to make place for it.

All in jewel cases. Yes they take a lot of space but it's the only way you can visually survey through them without having to physically search. I feel that if I had them in binders, many of them would remain unlistened for very long simply because I would not take the time to search through the binders. Having them in their cases allows me to just go through visually through them and pick some to listen to, frequently not the one I was thinking of listening.
They are more or less organized by genres, there is the area of symphonic, the area of jazz-rock fusion, the area of prog metal etc. Genres are of course fuzzy so there is no objective ordering, another person would place some bands in some other place, but I know in which area each band is. Within each genre area there is no particular ordering of the bands but broadly they go left to right from the most prominent bands (or the bands I have most albums from) to the least, so for example in the symphonic area I have first from the left Yes, Genesis, ELP, PF, Camel etc and on the right end the obscure bands of which I have only one album. Related artists are usually together, so for example Squire or Howe solo albums come after Yes.
And within each band or artist the albums are ordered chronologically.
Having said that, there's always a pool of quite many CDs scattered all around the place, not to mention my car which is a real mess. Many jewel cases are cracked because I always have a lot of CDs thrown in the trunk of the car, then I go shopping and put something heavy on top and... voila, cracked case again

I had a girlfriend who kept her CDs in one of those books with plastic sleeves. I just can't do it, it defaces the disc and trivializes the notes. Reminds me of when people used to stack their wax or put their 45s in those metal racks. Shameful.

My CDs are disorganised by apparent pseudo-random chaos, though there is a little method in the madness, not enough to call a system - all Pink Floyd and Philip Glass are contained in their respective grouping, though there is no special catalogue order within those groupings, some CDs were by spine colour but that looked too neat, all Peaceville label artists are grouped together and ... erm, that's it - the rest are more or less random and located in the living room and dinning room (I have all my 45s in a suitcase the 3rd bedroom - no rhyme or reason to that, it's where the removal men placed them and I just haven't felt the need to play any of them since moving house 9 years ago). I don't need a system because I know roughly where they are, and in looking I may find another CD that's more interesting. Neatness and order bugs me - like reverse OCD (which has probably got a fancy name and a cool TLA but it's really just liking being untidy and messy) - and I'm also too lazy to catalogue and file things - I tried it once ... then bought one more Tori Amos CD and had to shuffle every CD from Anathema onwards along one place. Nah, that's not for me.

I assumed most proggers would be pretty organized about them. I am surprised no one keeps them in binders though. That's what I was thinking of doing... binders and cd changer. mine are haphazardly stacked and strewn about but all are in their jewel case.

I can't vote because mine is a combo of the first 2.
