How do you arrange your CD collection?

[Tray73]

I've only got 3 CD's, so I arrange mine one a the front, one at the back and one in the middle...

That's a very sensible arrangement.

Tracey and Odysseus are the same as me, my music collection must have order, otherwise it's like trying to find one book in massive pile, which just won't do.

I do mine alphabetically and then chronologically. For example my Deep Purple collection is nestled between Charlie Daniels and Rick Derringer. Then I put the albums in order of thier release. Shades of Deep Purple, Book of Talisyn, etc. Just wondering.

Same here

My collection is arranged a little haphazzardly but I know where everyone should sort of be.

All scattered on the floor of my spare bedroom, some in the case others on the floor, some in the right case, some in the wrong case.

^^All I can say is Tomcat.

There is no way I could keep track of all my CD's if I didn't have them organized, it really is not an option for me. Same as my books they are in alphabetical order by author, I don't like spending time looking for things myself.

 

[Rocker440]

Mostly chronologically from earlier to later releases. Although I keep some favorites close at hand that tend to receive both more attention and spins, too!

 

[METALPRIEST]

All like brand new...in bookcase styled CD housing units and bookshelf units as well.


A to Z and in chronilogical order...

Except for The Beatles collection which is seperate as well as in chronilogical order...box sets seperate in alphabetical order...

It works out well though the collection covers 2 floors of my home.

 

[Abraxas]

In alphabetical order with each artists' releases in chronological order.
