Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Chronological is better so you have all the superior 70s and 80s Williams golden age scores bunched together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wojo 2,453 Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 I sort my ripped albums by genre, then by artist, then the folders are chronological. My CDs are extremely disorganized, in boxes in three bedrooms across a house and apartment. I won't try to sort them until I buy a house and then thin the herd.

Incanus 5,714 Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Alphabetical order sorted composer and title, that is the only logical way to catalogue music. THE ONLY WAY!Except my collection begins with W as in Williams. Koray Savas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,353 Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Yea I also have Williams before all other composers.I actually have Williams, then Elfman, Giacchino, Goldsmith, Horner, then all other composers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incanus 5,714 Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 My librarian mindset would find the chronological order too strange. It is not a discography after all, at least not on my shelf.But I do understand the idea behind that. C&C, right. In the case of multiple versions of the same score I usually follow the chronology of those releases, e.g. E.T. 1982 OST, 1996 expanded, 2002 expanded.

Incanus 5,714 Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 I organize my CDs by composer, chronologically, using their birthdates. If two (or more) composers were born the same year, then I organize them alphabetically. Then for each composer, I organize the CDs by label. Then for each label, I organize the CDs by their spines (regrouping the spines that match). Then, in each "spine group", I organize the CDs by title.Composer.Label.Spine.Title.It is the only way.Do you mean by spines matching that they are of the same colour or that they are of say Sony classical albums with same design in the spine?

nightscape94 965 Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Scores are organized by Williams first, then all other composers alphabetical, and within those sections the year of movie release.For classical I sort by composer and the category/size of work going from chamber music to orchestral. For example, if it's Beethoven, I start with solo piano and progress through violin sonatas, string quartets, concertos, symphonies.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well hey I blame my passion of music when I took band in junior high. I have to be in the mood to listen to other genre IE: Rock and such but it's rare that I am. I could listen to film scores all day long. Jilal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jilal 569 Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 I generally don't tell anyone what music I enjoy listening to, unless they really insist. Quite frankly, it's none of their business, and most people don't quite know what to picture when you mention film music anyway. I don't really care much about the organization of my meager lot of CDs. What does concern me, though, is the organization of my digital collection of audio and sheet music.In both of those categories, in the case of film, television and video game music, everything is first sorted alphabetically by surname of the composer (e.g. WAXMAN, Franz, WILLIAMS, John, WINTORY, Austin) and subsequently by year and title of the film (e.g. 2005 - Munich (OST Album)). In the case of multiple scores per year, I'll add alphabetical markings to the year the films were released (e.g. 1997A, 1997B, etc.). Multiple releases of the same score are kept in separate folders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent B 337 Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 For my organization... the top shelf is all the Star Trek scores, including TV series box sets that I got.Then the rest of the scores are listed alphabetically by composer (last name, first) then their respective scores in alphabetical order.
