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..

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. |

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. |

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. |

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!) |

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.
