    CDs:
    + Electronic shelving unit - I hate the term "electronic" but for lack
    of a better word... I guess I could say "not rock"
    + Rock shelfing unit
    + Soul/Hip Hop shelves at bottom of Rock shelving unit
    + Special package shelves for all those pretty delicate packages
    - Each catagory organized alphabetically by artist, OR by compilation
    series name

    Vinyl:
    By genre - the most used stuff goes in crates, all others on shelves
    + Deep House Crate
    + House House Crate
    + Nu-Jazz shelf
    + etc etc...
    - within all of those they are ordered by "newest stuff up front". Then
    there is my special Svek shelf where everything is beautifully presented
    and ordered by catalogue number. :)
