Album Storage

By genre, & then alphabetical, by last name of the artist, or composer in the case of classical music. Personally I have it divided by 6 genres: classical, jazz, rock/pop, blues, country, & comedy.

You could look at the film version of "High Fidelity", where John Cusak has some super-involved system for storing his LP's, & then changes it after his G/F leaves, to some other crazy system based on his personal history I think. The guy is real dedicated tho, has all of his LP covers in outer poly sleeves, etc.....

Isn't it fun to be a demented music nut/collector? :-)

I think he organized them by mood.

What do you do for Classical when you have multiple composers on a single LP/CD. For example, a collection of Marches or a Concert etc. I am currently reorganizing my LP collection for this reason.

Dgad, my solution for classical LPs with multiple composers is to file one of three ways: 1) under the composer whose work on the LP has the greatest significance for me, or 2) file under the composer already taking up the most space on the shelves, or 3) when there are a whole host of composers with many short works, file under a generic category (e.g., "Baroque," "Brass," "Marches," "Renaissance"). In the generic groupings (#3), I'll typically sort by label.
