How do you sort your LPs?

How do you sort your LPs?

1. Alphabetical Genre
2. Alphabetical Artist
3. Most listened
4. Others
I have procrastinated in organizing my collection. No excuses now.

From best to worst. ;-)

I’m curious fellas: why the organization by genre? I suppose if you have a hankerin’ for some Blues (or any other style) it would be handy. I did it that way when I was 17, but then I got a Mose Allison album. Jazz, or Blues?

At 18 I switched to alphabetical by artist (surname or group/band name), then chronological. Simple. Classical by composer, then alpha by title of work, and conductor/performer.

Just make it easier on yourself and not over think this and just do it alphabetical.

while you are at it....make a spread sheet of what you have also and can update as you add to the collection.

Alpha.
Genre is too hard as Eric says, too many artists fall into possible 2 or 3 genre's depending which way the wind blows.

I suppose it also would make a big difference according to the size of your collection and how often you add to it.

Remember the scene in Diner in which Daniel Stern's character reads his wife (played by the delicious Ellen Barkin) the riot act for mis-filing one of his LP's? She put it away in the incorrect genre. Great movie, great scene.
