Listening habits and LP storage

Does your LP storage scheme affect your listening habits?

The majority of my albums are in the basement while my system is on the ground floor. I keep about 30-40 albums near the system (so that they don't overtake the room).

I find that when I listen, I'm picking from the nearby albums instead of my entire collection. I also have lots of new albums that need to be cleaned before I'll listen to them and I'm not getting to those very quickly at all (although I keep buying them :-)).

I'm not at all frustrated by this - if I was I'd be motivated to get up off my rear and rotate the selection near my system. Rather, I find myself content as I put something on and get swept up in the music.

How about you?

My record room is on the same floor as my sound room and not that far away.

I have, like probably everyone else, several LP's that I use for reference and/or just really like.

It really depends on my mood and what I want to listen to at that particular point in time as to what I'll "pull" from my collection.

I try to clean all my new LP's in a timely manner so that I can listen to them.
