record collection order.

I've previously had them organized by genres. then I had
the best artist on the left and start from there. if I have
more than one album by the same artist I'll start from the
oldest.

But yesterday I thought that it could be better to do it in
a simple alphabetical order? what's your style?

Alphabetical. But currently I don't have enough shelves, and
piles of cds here and there

same problem, and I got these new and nice wooden boxes for
them. so now i'm trying to find out the best way to sort
them. seems that alphabetical could be the best as there I
wouldnt waste any space, as with genres I'll need to leave a
little space between em.

I keep my Cds in alphabetical order. When I search for some
artists, I usually find them easily. I'm pretty satisfied
with my kind of order.

If you have parties it's always nice to just tell your
guests that the music is sorted alphabetically, and they can
easily find whatever they want to hear even when drunk :)

Ikea stuff, Ikea Trissa.. I dont have my camera here so. But
this is the only pic I could find online. This is not the
boxes I've got, as mine are 15cm in witdht, 65cm in lenght
and the height is something like 16cm.

then I shall be putting it into Autobiographical order. YES,
AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL!

Strange. I've checked out the alternatives at Ikea, but I've
never seen boxes like you describe.

those boxes have just recently been added to ikeas range.
Last week or so. When I was browsing the net for ideas, I
saw this crazy metalic drawer that was designed for cd's..
for 3000 i guess.

you got much cd's?

Points: 17716 Status: Lurker



used to be in alphabetical order, then in chronological
order for records by the same artist... but now it's pretty
much like i feel.

i've been thinking of classifying them by spine colour, so
my collection would look like a nice rainbow, but i don't
think it would actually look like a rainbow at all with all
those black, white, multicoloured, not-really-colour-defined
and weird-coloured spines.



by the way, i have metallic cd towers - and that's a bad
idea. digipaks are ok but jewel cases get all scratched...

Not very much. But I've had them in shelves like
this and it's hell to have them in alphabetical
order in those...

Wow, that sounds like a nice idea.

Mortsto: I've got exactly the same box. but it's white
though.

Alphabetical is rubbish!

My records are grouped into similar groups, so if I want a
particular sound I can go there, then they are generally
split so similar labels or artist are groups.

Generally, you can start one end of a shelf and roughly
work along and they will mix reasonably well.
Alphabet is pants because the sounds are in no order, only
the artist names. So when you are say mixing and want a
certain style you can go straight to it, instead of thinking
"hmmm is that artist x or artist a"

If people want a particular artist, they look near the
section which best desribes the style of music.

i disagree...

alphabetical order is pretty much objective, whereas genres
are subjective. when i'm looking for a particular artist at
the record shop (when i'm still going to a record shop, that
is - i buy most of my cds on the internet now), i always
have to look through two or three different
classifications.

is beck classified into pop/rock or indie?
is air classified into pop/rock, indie, or electro?
is mr bungle classified into pop/rock or indie? *can't find
it* *asks* it was classified into metal!
oh, aphex twin was in the trip-hop section...
is melt-banana into indie, metal or...?
where the hell is merzbow?
etc.

Genre split up in a shop fucks me off., They should just
split by Record Label and then alphabetize.

And your personal genres are in the head too, so if you
wanna make a mix you know what artist YOU think is similar.

yes, but even so, i could (and would) still have difficulty
fitting some particular records into a genre or another...
there will always be some unclassifiable ones, even between
the genres i'd have made up myself. i won't pretend to be
able to find a "perfect" classification that would be
flawless...

i'm against the idea of classification, not just against the
particular classification (into rock, pop, indie rock,
techno, ambient, etc) people use.
