I have no idea how many records I have. They are all over the place but I can always find what I want. Not sure how. All the CDs are on a hard drive and cataloged in iTunes. I'd rather look at the vinyl.
How do you store and catalog your vinyl?
Just curious how members store, sort and catalog their vinyl collection.
With less than a 1000 I have a hard time remembering just what I already own and have purchased duplicates by mistake whilst at the LRS.
How do you store them?
How do you sort them? Alphabetical or genre or year?
Catalog? In the good old days probably in a note book modern equivalent would be a word document or excel spreadsheet.
Very interested to hear what you do and how you manage that massive collection.

The most egregious job I ever had related to this hobby was ripping all my CDs so I could stream them and put the physical copies away. It was such a time-consuming, mind-numbing chore that I gave up part way through, had a local "cd-ripping company" rip the last few hundred.Of course they did a crap job, getting tons of tags wrong, so I had to redo a lot there and finish off ripping more CDs. Very glad that's behind me, and I very rarely buy CDs anymore. |
Prof. I hear you on the CD ripping, pretty soul destroying. I limited myself to 15 to 20 a day max. Still took forever it seemed. And still had to go in and fix some bad tags, that was really depressing! I must admit to having bought a LOT lately though with thrift shops near giving them away! And they have never sounded so good as of late through my C.E.C transport. |
Absolutely unbelievable! https://www.discogs.com/Pink-Floyd-The-Dark-Side-Of-The-Moon/release/2318072 And I thought I paid a lot for it at a dive record store in Fargo, North Dakota about 3 years ago at $69! Holy cow! |
