morgan Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 A-Z Band A-Z Album Taking that split idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest scriptedrain Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 1. By band, alphabetically... 2. ...then by release, chronologically.* 3. Compilations and other various artists go at the end. * The album's original release date, not necessarily its press date. For example, my 2007 pressing of "Tell All Your Friends" goes before my 2005 pressing of "Where You Want to Be." - Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skumbucket Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 didn't we just do this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mclz Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 A. sections for sizes B. then alphabetically (and chronologically for bands) C. the splits (alphabetically and by which band i like more, and if equal then a side) D. and finally V/A E. then band box sets G. finally v/a box sets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lechevre Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 didn't we just do this? I think we did! Should we *gasp* sticky a thread like this? Ha ha, no I'm joking about that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xlovecolouredx Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 i'm an untidy collector.... i didn't put 'em on the shelves like most of people here do. i always put 'em in the plastic box and didn't organize. but i always put the same album in multi copies in a group.

gimonsarfunkel Posted August 29, 2007 Author Share Posted August 29, 2007 Anyone ever try chronological? I tried to chrono my CD's one time. That was no good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riddle350 Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 I do the alphabeticaly/cronologicaly thing too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skumbucket Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Anyone ever try chronological? I tried to chrono my CD's one time.That was no good. yeah, i did. it took two weeks just to make sure i had a solid list of accurate release dates for my 1,100 (at the time) albums. it was a huge pain in the ass.

gimonsarfunkel Posted August 29, 2007 Author Share Posted August 29, 2007 Noyce. Are they still organized that way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skumbucket Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 nope. it only lasted a couple months before i went back and re-did it alphabetically. just too frustrating and my lady couldn't grasp it very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest scriptedrain Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Does anyone else organize their CDs in their CD books? Talk about a pain in the ass. Luckily I don't buy CDs anymore, but whenever I get one randomly (See: MCS and White Stripes 3-pack preorders), I have to rearrange every one that's alphabetically past it. - Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
