How's your music library?

When looking through the systems on A-gon, people's music libraries are frequently missing, not shown, or possibly not in the same room. After all the $$$ spent on one's system, I'd like to know what's behind all of this. After all, it is the entire raison d'être for audiomania.

I had a collection of about 200+ LPs that I've recently sold or given away; finally able to emotional divorce myself from the vinyl I started acquiring as a teenager. I began building my CD collection about 15-16 years ago. It's now 636 titles and nearly 700 discs. It spans the globe and periods from the Renaissance though 20th century, BeBop to Acid Jazz, Afro Celt to Zap Mama, and a fair dose of Rock & Pop. Recently, the fastest growing genre has been 20th century music which has surpassed earlier "classical" music but still trailing the Jazz and World sections. A modest collection certainly, and compared to a friend who has a library (unfortunately uncatalogued) of well over 2000 titles, quite modest. He's gotta music library! I suspect there are quite a few other impressive libraries out there. Please tell us.

One more question to add to this, if I may. How does everyone organize their library.

I have over 600 CD's, and they too span from the late 60's/early 70's to present, from keyboard/synth oriented to folk to rock.

I find myself completely forgetting about some artists or titles when having everything in alphabetical order, especially when the CD's are at the top or bottom of the rack. I have gone past the bifocals on to trifocals. So it's hard to tilt my head to the top and bottom of the rack.

I've thought of grouping by female, female fronted group, male and male fronted groups. Or grouping by folk, punk, keyboard, light, medium and hard rock, etc. But you always have CD's that span those lines.
