I've just reordered my entire record collection using your suggestion...it works really well.  The only thing is, what takes precedence: eggs or bacon?

Alphabetical order.

To avoid having to constantly shift them around my cd racks, once a month I sort them all out and put any new cd's out.

I've got 1.800 cd's and do store them alphabeticaly, easier to find and sort.

You can also sort them in the order you buy them...

Alphabetically, then by year.

My problem is space. I bought one of those 1,000 CD selves, but the damn thing is getting full and I keep having to move a major portions of my CDs to make room for new ones.

 

 

What kind of storage racks do you use and do you like it?

Bands, artist by alphabet, and of course the albums by date, except for live albums, they go in the rear.

Compilation albums go seperatly, also unofficial albums (compilations and bootlegs) are stored seperatly.

I've started to make a CD database, including all relevant information. It's a lot of work, but it makes it easy to find what I'm looking for.

I did that for a while, but stopped when there came more intermediate colours in my collection.

I stored them face foreward for the best visual result.

I've now burnt all my CD's onto my hard disc. I have also completely filled my 20 gig MP3 player.
I have a handful of golden oldies and any new discs (currently got loads) downstairs-the rest are in the attic with my LPs.....

Thanks everyone. It's given me some ideas. I did think that it could be a specialist system known only to the chosen and use the ProgArchives score rating.

I'm currently transferring my CDs onto a recently purchased HD walkman.

 

Now where was I.........
