There isn't any pattern to my listening habits although I go back to certain artists more frequently than others. So many great recordings go unplayed if they can't be seen. I've always stored my albums so I view the face like the old days of browsing through the record shops. It's quick and eay. My system is better thought out and the albums stand nearly upright. They don't tumble on the floor either but I had to learn the secrets of accomplishing that feat the hard way. If I stored them in the conventional manner I'm sure I wouldn't play the diversity of music I enjoy so much.
Listening practices
How much of your music collection have you actually listened to at least once?
I began to wonder this about my own collection since I usually find myself going back to the same recordings. I determined I have probably listened to about 2/3's of my music.
When I realized this I began a process of listening to the first LP in each section of my record rack. I plan to go through each rack like this. So far I have listened to several things for the first time.
In the last couple of days I listened to Tennessee Ernie Ford and Jack Jones, which were followed up by Alice Cooper. It was a strange combination, but I'm having fun.
