How Do You Organize Your Music?


Depending on how much music you have, I'm sure everyone organizes their music a little differently. Do you separate by genre, then alphabetize? Do you have a chronological system? Do you tab where the next letter starts?

I'm curious to know how people with huge music libraries catalogue their music. Digital music can be very easy to organize if you have accurate ID3 tags, but what do you do with your CDs and LPs?

As I'm disorganized the best system for me is a simple one. I have one of those IKEA cubed wall units where each cube represents a letter of the alphabet. The key to making this work is NOT to organize alphabetically within each letter as it's way easier to put albums back on the shelf at the end instead of trying to find the exact spot.

This sometimes forces me to browse through sixty or seventy albums to find the one I want, but during the process I often see and take out another old album that I haven't played for years.
