worrked. i can't seem to get something that worrks forr me
and i always end the task unhappy.

when i finally get around to it, i will have one big shelf
for all my favourite cds, and then on the side, another one
for the less listened to ones. all in alphabetical order,
becuase it is easiest to get used to , and easiest to sort
too.

atm, they are unorganised on the shelf and floor -_-

that's definitely right, i spose what i meant by my
favourite cd's (i admittedly have a small range in tastes,
outside of idm) was that i would have all my electronic/idm
cds on the big shelf, and my older non-electronic stuff on
the side shelf.

I have my favorite artists on the horizontal racks (like at
the store), the better ones at the front (Beatles), the back
ones, elite but not quite elite enough to. It's sort of
chronological.

Shit I don't listen to much is on my three big vertical
racks, because they're annoying to go through. Not
alphabetical or anything, but chronological in an artist's
''section''.

That all probably sounded like gibberish.

Organization is for nerds.. I just have my cd's in a big cd
booklet and can usually remember where most of them are... I
always put them in the same spot i took them from, thats all
the organization I need.

genre's works i guess
i have metal industrial dance idm and in the second row
besides that alternative soundtracks and classical
but it's only 60 cd's or so, most of em i've just put away,
because it's crap or (in the back of my closet) or i will
only want to listen to it once a year or less (in the front
of it)

that's what i went forr in the end, but some music is harrd
to give a set genrre to, and some genrres i only have one CD
forr, so therre is still an an untidy rrow of odds and bobs.

artists are together, stored however they will all fit,
other than that no order, but it's neat, and it works

i got everything fitted in those categories
i have a category 'bands i know' too
i thought alternative was pretty smart of me, fits
everything like rem, transam, radiohead and stuff, when it
gets loud it get to be metal, that's it

Do you guys sometimes face a prroblem when a CD does not
have a jewel case and you have to account forr that?

i think you can tell a lot about a person if they keep their
cds/vinyl in a rack. Especially if its in alphabetical
order. part of the fun of putting a particular cd on is
being able to find it first.

if you buy a slotted cd case thingy like the ones I use, tou
will usually find that you can fit more cd's in by placing
them in the opposite direction to the grooves that they are
meant to go in

eventually i will organize my records by label i
think....cds are something i can never ever keep organized,
it just wont happen, i dont care for them enough, but wax on
the other hand is easier to have a bit of respect for...i
just burn copies of my records and throw them around all
over the place.
