@bdp24 As a genre-sorter, may I offer my rationale? The most important aspect of my filing is that I use the record store method. Albums are easily flipped through in their relevant section. I remember with some accuracy where albums-by-artist live in each deck. I tend to browse rather than search for a specific artist. Admittedly, some go "missing" only to be found again! I could not stand the creaked-neck-album-spine filing method.
