How do you store and catalog your vinyl?


Just curious how members store, sort and catalog their vinyl collection.
With less than a 1000 I have a hard time remembering just what I already own and have purchased duplicates by mistake whilst at the LRS.

How do you store them?
How do you sort them? Alphabetical or genre or year?
Catalog? In the good old days probably in a note book modern equivalent would be a word document or excel spreadsheet.

Very interested to hear what you do and how you manage that massive collection.

  Personally I hate Ikea Kallax shelves - yes they are cheap and no doubt this is why they are so popular.  IMO, the shelves are too deep, not high enough,too many records are in each compartment making it quite heavy and you have to put your own back onto the shelves.

  I have been lucky to have my own design shelves made by my Uncle - for me they are perfect - the 3/4 high dividers release the weight strain of too may records and also allow you to easily flick through records.

my vinyl is sorted strictly A-Z except for Classical, Soundtracks and Various artists have their own small area.
  Discogs is used to catalogue my 95% of my collection.
