How do you arrange the order of your records?


I guess some alphabetically. Some by genre. By quality. Etc.
My preference is keeping them randomly arranged. This way I get a nice variety and I don’t have to choose. And it’s always a nice surprise.

I take them out about ten at a time and place them in a dedicated space between my mono blocks.

My partner and I used to have over 1,000 DVDs and BluRays. She was in charge of filing them… she had them broken down into a dozen categories then alphabetical across six big wall storage units. I could never find a thing. She would say, “It is in Action.? Where is that? She would reply under Fantasy. I would say, where is that? The whole over classified mess was incomprehensible to me. 

Jazz albums are “albums” so they go with everything else, alphabetically.

Thats everything except:

Classical music are not “albums,” so they are separate, arranged chronologically by composer (Pachelbel, Vivaldi, Bach at beginning, Steve Reich, Terry Riley, La Monte Young at the end)

There is a small 3rd grouping of soundtracks, Christmas music, and comedy LPs.

Because I have such a healthy amount of Mancini, I put all of his soundtrack LPs with the main stack.

Pop/Rock/Folk together. Alphabetical by artist.

Jazz/Blues/Hip Hop together. Alphabetical by artist.

Soundtracks together by movie title.

Mobile Fidelity titles together.

Vinyl Me Please titles together.

Box sets.

 

No, but they did mentioned autobiographical.

It now occurs to me that OPs chosen listening will get warped by standing them in the stereo heat between his monoblocs.
