i'm sure most PA members have many lp's and cd's in their collection, so how do you store them? have you a neat shelving system so a particular album can be found instantly, or do you have to search through confused heaps around the house..?? i'm constantly changing things around, the long winter evenings just fly by.. -------------  Prog Archives Tour Van

I have different shelves for Prog Rock, Prog Metal, One shelf for Metal, Shred (Guitar) Jazz, Electronic and Classical, and another one for any other stuff (Rock/Pop). Each shelf is sorted alphabetically, and the releases by each artist are mostly sorted by year. ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/release-polls/pa/aoty-2024/vote" rel="nofollow - 2024 Release Poll Listened to:

By broad music genre first (classical, jazz, new age, pop/rock,
mandarin rock), then per genre alphabetical by artist (or composer for
classical). It takes me less than 20 seconds to find the CD that I want
from our 4000 or so collection. That is, unless my wife put them wrong at the wrong spot.  ------------- Blog this: http://artrock2006.blogspot.com |

| My vinyls are sorted alphabetically by artist and each artist's albums are in chronological order, but my CDs are in no logical order. |

Chronologically within each artist. Example: Frank Zappa: Absolutely Free, Lumpy Gravy etc. then Shadow Gallery: Shadow Gallery, Carved In Stone etc. So artist randomly placed, but their albums are placed chronologically. ------------- RIO/AVANT/ZEUHL - The best thing you can get with yer pants on! |

| All my CD's are in neat shelves with around 600 in flight cases. I have one unit in alphabetical order the rest are a mess. Sometimes I give up looking for an album. |

Alphabetically by artist, then chronologically.
On a side note: I really hate it when people put, for example, Peter Hammill under P instead of H (I've seen record stores do it!) ------------- Human beings were created by water to carry it uphill. |

I have my record collection in alphabetical order by artist (regardless of genre) and then multiple albums within an artist are arranged in order of release.
