@clearthinker Sweet story. Enjoyed that. Discogs is great but I do miss the record shops of 40 years ago. We spent hours in them. It's probably why I have my records stored in record store format instead of library book format.
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.
