robthehand 3 Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Well, how? At the moment - today - mine are ordered alphabetically by compoer's surname, and then in chronological order with compilations at the end of each composer's series. 8O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLUMENKOHL 1,064 Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Chronological, however by the dates I got them, not necessarily by their actual release dates. Which means for the past 15 years it's pretty close to the original order, to the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixie_twinkle 44 Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Alphabetical by composer, then chronological within each group. It gets tricky when you have Barbirolli conducting Beethoven and Brahms on the same disk though. 8O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 859 Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 I decided to try something a little different and started grouping them by labels for FSM, Varese CD Club, Varese regular, Intrada, and Prometheus. Then I started grouping them by subject matter; Star Wars, Star Trek, Godzilla, Harry Potter, Jurassic Park, Cop themes, supernatural, medival, thrillers, cartoons, comedies etc.Just something different, plus now I can see how my collection is dominated by FSM & Varese.

Mr. Breathmask 480 Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Film title. Franchises are together chronologically. The James Bond series comes first (under "007").There's two groups of CDs on my desk now, because my CD rack is full. The second group contains bootlegs and copies, and new purchases also go there. There's a seperate group for bootlegs and original CDs within that stack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fommes 126 Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Overall, CDs are organized by composer (though in no particular order), and then chronological. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent B 317 Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 By the way when you mean by "Chronological" does that mean by the year it was released? Sorry for asking such a noob of a question. 8O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fommes 126 Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 No, the year the score was written. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ymenard 35 Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 For a long time I had an A, B and C section.I would pick the CD up first in each pile and put it back at the end after I've listened to it. My favorites were in the A, good album in the B's and some more rare CD's in the last section. For each C album, there would be two B's and 4 A's that would be played (I normally go to work with 7 albums that I play during the day). Albums could go up and down a section but only after it went down in the pile again.I really liked the method, that way I would never "forget" a CD, and my favorites were still played in larger numbers. Often when you have large (500+) collections you always forget some CD's that aren't played for say 3 years.Well I think I explained that a little bizarrely... but it worked very well!!!!!!

Olivier 5 Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Ymenard: what has changed and why?I have several categories.- Goldsmith, Williams, Broughton, Elfman, Poledouris, Horner, Howard, Moross, ...- genres (all composer, ie with anything related by Goldsmith, ...): Western, Action, Horror, ...- Disney, Animated Features- Favorite scores by various composersSince everything isn't stored in one single place / cabinet / case, more categorizing is necessary:- "Favorite ones" case (favorite Goldsmith, Williams, Broughton, Disney, other)- "Favorite Western, Action, Horror, Sea, Horner" case- more recent CDsThen we could discuss the organization of mp3 copies.

Damo 0 Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 My CD collection is pretty much in a random order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ymenard 35 Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Yeah it's changed to simple Composer's name / Date of release, because I wanted some change, to see if I could hear my collection in a different way, with another approach.But the A/B/C piles was a neat idea. It seems complicated but it's really not, I suggest ya'll try it someday It's fun to pick up a CD and you see what's next in the pile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmo Lewis 6 Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 iTunes.I keep all my CDs at my parents', where they escape any sort of organisation. But I don't use them too much lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
