My collection
For yours.. and most defiantely my own pleasure
comes the schematics of my Ikeasystem, consisting
of 5 x 5 lp shaped rooms.
It took me a while to get where I am now since
also I faced the problems of acronyms, moods and
such.
As it turned out, the percentage of new releases has
increased dramatically over the last three or four years.
Took a wovel to buy more NEW releases than
second hands. Prooved a succes. Think a good 40%
is from within the last three years.
Its all settled into these categories starting from
top left.

Subject: Slightly OT: Organizing Albums
Ok, here it goes...
I was wondering how you organize your collection (CDs, vinyls, DATs, acetates,
MP3s, what have you).
I usually arrange mine according to date of purchase (which is at times, silly),
and if there's a new album from, say, 4Hero, I'd put it together with all their
previous albums/EPs, so that it would be in the same area. However, as the
collection grows, I find it a bit hard to track down a particular album/track,
especially if you move an album from one spot to another quite frequently.
A friend suggested that I arrange this according to genre, but I dunno where to
start, and knowing that AJ (or AJ-related music) has a thousand and one names,
I'd probably get lost along the way.
How do you do yours? Inputs from DJs out there would probably be valuable.
Live well.
/Mike
