how do you catalogue your music....i put them into record labels and artists, and if i can be bothered...into release date....but what i really want to know is, is there anybosy out there who copies audio cd's and puts them in with their originals... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The way I do it is I buy music, listen to the CD on rotation, when not listening to it I leave it lying around, then when the CD is totally scratched and wrecked I download the album. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Organized CHaos! Like my brian. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how can you do that!!!! leave it to get scratched, are you minted or somet?... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes I am :D I have bought SAWII 3 times on CD :P I plan on buying everything again soon, and maybe keeping these ones in good condition, but I have over 1000 bought CD's, so I won't be replacing all of them. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have to buy SAWII again to lol! Yeah im a bit minted aswel . |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hhhuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhh.....breathes out!!!! freak me baby!!!! i can't concieve that amount....how many of them bought cd's are ones that you listen to though...i mean...i have 400 cd's that i listen to and another 200 that are stashed away in my parents garage coz they are total shite... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i usually just keep stuff in my big cd wallet |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i had to buy saw11 twice aswell....what happens to them!!!!! warp must sell that cd the most eh... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I bought two copies off SAWII at once when a local music store was selling it for £4 a copy, and because I bought 2 I got them together for £7 :D I also got SAWI for £3.50...so the the price of a shitney spears album I got two copies of SAWII and one copy of SAWI :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i just do em in two rows, with warp thru to skam, rephlex, planet-mu, then just whatever i'm listening to at the time, i'm not to bothered where they go really |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
FREAK!!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I normally dip in and out, I have my favourites, but I don't think there is one CD that I would say I am ashamed of having bought...a few are shit but they are in the minority :P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
THE thing is, when ever you want to find a track off an album, you (or i) would go mad if i cannae find it!!! so...i have to keep them in some type of order.....record label workd for me....warp...rephlex...skam...lorecords...leaf.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
my records are grouped into styles/genres so if i'm looking for something to listen to im gonna know roughly where it is |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i just put one ot top of another...cd's are all over my room...if im lucky i can dig up the one im after - if not, i just listen to one on top |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
These days if I fancy listening to just one track I just download it and listen to it, I figure it's not a problem because I have already bought the album. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
im remember pretty good on how the cover of particular cd looks like, so that helps :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
OK.... i am impressed with the hogworts boy....you have it sussed.....gold star for you... class dissmissed |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have an obsession with my cds... I am always afraid of them being scratched, so I take too much care... I have them just catalogued by artist name, thats it. then I have an excel file with all my cds, catalogued by artist, music style, release date and extra notes |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i NEVER put cdr's in my collection EVER! they suck dick, it's cheap and no self respecting music geek should do it support the artists yo |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'd like to do that with my cds sometime... im sure it takes a long time to do that tho |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well it took me a lot really... but now I just keep adding the new ones and it is really easy. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hehe, yeah, i want to start from adding the new ones |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lol well I did the list when I had about 180 cds, now I have 310 its not much really... but someday... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
huh, this may take me long time how long did you need to arrange those 180? if its less than a day i'll start doing mine if its more im pretty sure i wont bother :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
of course less than a day... just a few hours... take it this way: its a few hours listening to great music on you stereo while you make the excel list... I wouldnt try to put all the details from tthe begining... that would be too slow and you would never finish... start first just making the list with the release titles and the artists... then try to go into more detail... in excel you can always choose the order you want the list to appear with.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have all my cd's in nice rows with all artists of the same name together. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I catalogue them from best to last, that way I can *eyes well up*...have fun ....*single tear rolls down cheek*.....putting them in order!!!! *sobs* |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I sort em in Styles, Artists, Dates & Labels. My system is not very logical but for me its fine. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
dont have too many cds.. like about 100-150.. but i have these cd tower thingey where you can stick em in.. i dont care much about sorting them.. im really sloppy (my room looks like a swamp) takes me a while to find a cd tho |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i started doing that excel list (just titles and artist names), but i always fail to update that thing regulary and above everything - my comp chrushed about a year ago, and i lost that excel file (and i already listed something more than 600 cds) well, i'll do this for sure! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
physically, i have three CD towers, one for electronic music (smaller), one for other music (taller - also i put a cardboard with over it) and one for CD-Rs and CD-ROMs... audio CDs alphabetically listed in each category... but i'm starting to lack space, i'll have to re-organize it soon also i have a simple here (but i also counted the mp3s) (also it is sorted by first name, i.e. Peter Gabriel will be sorted in P not in G) for june... an older list, handwritten and with 5-star ratings: - |
||||||||

NICE LIST THERE BOYO! love the frank zappa!!!! what a mad arse "she was a fine girl, she liked to get down, all the way doww" |
||||||||
|
|

|
thanks ^^; |

Most of my cd's don't even have cases |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
my collection is an absolute mess. the only part that is in some sort of order is my cds, but that is quickly falling apart (every time i listen to a cd, i just throw the previous one in the case of the one i will be listening to. so even if i try to find a cd by it's case, it usually has the wrong cd in it). i am just finally getting enough records that i need to have a new way of organizing them (some sort of shelf or something). what's the worst is my cd-rs! i always figure, hell, i can reburn it for myself, i've got the record laying around somewhere, but that way i've got to go through unecessary cd-rs because i don't take care of them. |
||||||||

|
i used to be very anal about my cd storage, now i just leave them where they stand in many piles |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
a week or two ago, I spotted a card rack being thrown out from my local bargain store (this thing is the size of a chest of draws, and is designed to display cards) so, I'm going to slot my vinyl into it, clear for all to see, and the metre high stack of cds on top I just have to move out into my own place (again), until then, it's comfortably waiting on the front lawn for anyone else to "steal" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I also used to have my cd's sorted into an excel dosument with all kinds of useful info, but it got deleted in a format, and I can't be bothered setting it up again |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
CDs are alphabetical order by artist, then sub-divided by release date. Albums and singles/eps seperate. Vinyl is more complex- a hybrid of record size, period, genre, label, artist etc. Works well as I can find most stuff in under 10 seconds. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have 4 sections: compilations; in alphabetical order, Warp releases; consisting of EPs in catalogue number order, then albums in catalogue number order, then cassette albums in cat# order (each cat# ordered thus: first vinyl backup CDRs, then original CD versions, then promo vinyl backups, then promo CDs), everything else; sorted in alphabetical order of release within alhpabetical order of artist, and finally a section for "recent" acquirements (quite large cos "recent" goes back at least a year); in no order whatsoever I've also got two big piles of random CDRs just on whatever spare surface I can find. Vinyl is in three sections, both in order of wherever I fancy putting them (ie; none) But then I have only a couple of hundred vinyl or so (not hard to flick through to find anything) whereas I have 3000+ CDs so I need a system or I'd spend hours just trying to find something. |

sheite xceque , that's a lot of music you have there.... i love to re-organise and dispaly my music collection, coz that's what it is, it's a collection, my favourite pass time and 'hobby' if you like.... has anyone seen the film high fidelity...now, that guy has a lot of vinyl, and he enjoys categorising them in abstract ways...."biographically" (his life, the order he got them in!) well... i understand his intentions there, this hobby i have of collection music, it's a representative of my life, well, some of it is.... and i celebrate that!!! lol if you have a collection that is just strewn around the room...is it a collection at all? or is it just an obsolete unimportant inanimate object you have cluttering up your room? |

HELLO starquake! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

i put them into two categories: major label\indie rock. the other category is electronic\avant garde\whatever else. im a cd freak, i buy plastic cases for the paper cd cases\digipacks(you should do this, the cases will be in horrible condition without them in the future, just go look at those records your parents still have lying around and tell me that most of them still look good) |
