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. :)
