So far I am reading that members are organizing. Not in any order.
By Label first, then Alphabetic (Composer or Performer)....
By Composer first, then Performer, with the label later ?
By an Organizational Category first, then Composer (Alpha)
The chronological by date method sounds very interesting.
So is it true ?
Filing By Label and release catalog number - You are an LP collector
File by Composer / Performer - You are more of a music lover.
This is the situation I am dealing with. A partial view of what I (and my wife) sees.

The records are temporarily in the front part of our house including the room where you enter. :^( I am being asked (pressured) to move them. The numerous treasures I am finding is really slowing me down as I stand there and admire these records, losing focus. I tend to go onto the internet to read about them. This really slows down the process. I hate filing. I love listening. To see my existing main room is to see records (2k?) and cds, many all over the place, (not including files on the Western drive). I just know where everything is. This is no longer the case.
I had some but not a lot of mono recordings before. I may now need to acquire a mono cartridge sometime in the future as I have come across a number of mono recordings i.e. Budapest String Quartet.
