    Alphabetic order by first letter only, no categories. Easy to find
    stuff (currently about 70 CDs at most for the more popular letters)
    but easy for lazy people like me to maintain. No categories because
    I just don't want to have to think about which one something goes
    into (I just wish record shops would think this way too, but only
    when I know what I'm looking for :-))
