I have all of mine (not very many anymore) in my computer desk. They're just grouped together by band and album.

I just have loads of CDs tape and vinyl in card board boxes in my room...I dont even know what the hell I have any more.

I do it based on where I got them. There's an internet section, an FYE section, a Hastings sections, etc.

I don't really know why.

No real order, just that all CDs by the same band are together. I can still find what I want quite fast. Helps that I only have maybe 500 CDs. I use the word 'only' loosely because I know how people on this board are. My wife certainly doesn't think it's too few.

These days they are arranged in the order they were purchased. The older part of the collection has some genre organization. Amazingly enough I do know where everything generally is. Would love to have the time for a proper A-Z arranging.

My problem for a long time has been the lack of appropriate space to put the damn things (numerous moves). I really hate the idea of buying more shelves, so there's only a small percentage of discs I have out and available to grab.

The rest of my discs are in boxes (same basic theory as Spec), except instead of just cataloging I've been ripping EVERYTHING, so I have digital copies on the computer that allows me to leave the boxes where they are. Still a long way to go on that project, but I'll get around to it eventually.

all variations of pop/rock/metal get combined and then alpha by artist/chronological. I have a separate system for my jazz discs, those are arranged by record label.

If I had the space id do that too would be kick ass to have my own room devoted to that, but then again Id probobly have more lol

I have no order. Jewel cases from CDs NOT bought within the last 3 years are in storage. ALL of my CDs are in the apartment and are either in binders or in the jewel cases they came in originally. I have piles of CDs and cases all around my computer desk. I actually need another gigantic binder to put away everything I've bought in the last six months or so.

I gave up any sort of order years ago but if when we ever get a house or two bedroom apartment, I'd love to buy a nice shelf or two for my albums.

Alphabetized. Or at least they were for a while.

I still haven't gotten to this yet. It's getting bigger by the minute.

Who knows when it will happen.

I have them organized by genre. I have around 400 cd's and they don't look as much, so organized that way seems easy to find them.

Mine are all alphabetical, although the collection is really small at the moment.

One more thing, we need pictures!

LOL MG!!!





Please tell me that aint really you!!!

It's supposed to be rainy here tomorrow which is just the reason I need to put my new CD rack together.

Once I get it assembled and have re-filed The Vault, I'll take some pictures.

It's actually going to take me longer to re-file everything than it will to put the rack together. I've assembled racks so many times that I barely need instructions. Re-filing everything and the "domino effect" it has on those CDs already filed takes forever.

I don't really arrange my CDs.

But again, I'm a very anal person.

I'm also a perfectionist.

Everything in my 2200 sq. foot house is in order most of the time.
