    Organising your record collection... now there's an idea! Why didn't i think
    of that years ago :)

    I actually have a record room/cupboard, then I keep 3 big boxes under my
    decks. There's not much order though!

    Does anyone else get nightmares about theft/fire! I actually woke up in a
    cold sweat once and actually had to go over and physically touch the records
    to calm myself down. Now how sad is that!!!!????

    After a two day stock check at the shop though, i can't facing looking at
    another record for a while :)

    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
