How do you sort your LPs?


How do you sort your LPs?
By:
1. Alphabetical Genre
2. Alphabetical Artist
3. Most listened
4. Others
I have procrastinated in organizing my collection. No excuses now.

128x128arion
I listen to vinyl 99% of the time.  Separate storage for classical LP's (about 300) vs. everything else (about 1500).  Alphabetically within each pile.  For listening I just go through each collection in alphabetical order from Abba to ZZ Top and from Albinoni to Wagner.  I was wasting too much time deciding "What should I listen to today?"  I put a CD on when i need background music for a nap.
Classical by composer. Jazz by instrument. Vocals by female/male/jazz/folk/rock/era. Classical guitar by artist. Separate area for audiophile and demo stuff.

If I want to listen to Chet Baker, I go to the trumpet section. If I want to listen to Cal Tjader, I go to the vibes section. For Cannon Ball Adderley, I go to the alto sax section. For Kenny Burrell, I go to the guitar section.

I also have a special section (my favorite) for the ’50s West Coast jazz. That’s where guys like Brubeck, Desmond, Shelley Mann, Conte Condoli, Buddy Collette, Chico Hamilton, and Bud Shank reside.
