Categorizing records


Just got the neatest cherry record cabinets ($117 ea) and I'm ready to catalog and categorize most of my records. I've got 100 LP dividers and was wondering if anyone had any ideas on categorizing other than MUSIC STYLE/ARTIST/ALPHABETIZING.

Anyone have a LP database to catalog them? Thought I would design one in Filemaker.

I wish the Goldmine pricing guide was on CD, so I could cut & paste the info in my data base. Then I could put it in my pocket pc to take with me to record stores!

Cataloging, what a typically male pursuit, may I add my recomendation to whatch "High Fidelity", a good film anyway. At one point John Cusack, impresses a friend by saying he is recataloging his records by when they were bought and the relationship he was in, thats obsessional, not to say anally retentive. I really do my best, but struggle even keeping them the same way up so I can read the spines. My real dilemma is what to do with compilations. What composer do you file them unde? I lose sleep over rhat one.
I forgot to add, what do you do when your cabinets for CD's and LP's are full and the wife says there is no room for any more. I have to grudgingly admit she may have a point.
Do you: A) By the shelves anyway and take the flack.
B) Change your buying habits
C) Change the wife
Answers on a postcard please.
