perhaps i should try, maybe find things then

ive only just learned the trick of putting CD's in correct cases lol

Used to alphabetise ny CDs and DVDs (and tapes, back in the day when the compact disc was just a dream)
Then I realised out of my vast collection of entertainment I only ever listened to or watched a few regularly, so I ordered everything according to favouritism, but I think I made some of my CDs/DVDs jealous and as a result they refused to work.
After some counselling and a new CD player they now work and my ordering system now consists me just ramming things in where they might fit (no rudeness please :razz: )

Very much so, my DVDs used to be ordered in Case type then by the Alphabet.

My CDs are in Alphabetical order, as is my massive collection od 7" singles.

I used to sort things like that until I had a baby.
If CD's get put back in their cases now its a miracle!

They are supposed to be loosely grouped by type - dance, sloppy love songs, goth, classical, etc

I alphabetize my DVDs, but not my CD's as i listen to them far too much, so they would never stay in order.

DVDs - randomly arranged with the odd Xbox game in between
books - random little piles/shelves around the house
CDs - immaculately alphabetical by artist, except for the gf's Elvis CDs which she absolutely insists go under "E" for Elvis when they CLEARLY should go under "P" for Presley.

I've tried a few times but usually forget which order I decided on !

These days random order seems to work best - if I can't find something it's usually cos somebody borrowed it....if only I could remember who :suspect:

nope. Whats the point?

I throw all my CD cases away after purchase and store music CDs in large wallets, where browsing them is a snap.

Apart from that everything and more is on the computer, and I simply cue up tracks in Winamp on my mobile and listen to them on FM stereo downstairs (or anywhere in Nether Edge that I choose). Ah technology!

Videos are sorted by genre as are books. Food cupboards start out in order but soon end up mixed up. Not having much storage space has forced me to do this.

CDs are all alphbetised, as are DVDs. Just makes it easier to find individual titles when I want them.

Some are grouped by artist and year of album release.
So Parachutes and ROBTTH are next to each other as they are both Coldplay.
Pablo Honey, The Bends, OK Computer, Kid A, Amensiac, HTTT. (All grouped together). Yet Dire Straits isn't next to Coldplay-they are somewhere else in the collection with Alchemy, Bros. In Arms .
Then somewhere else you have: Automatic For The People and In Time (1988-2003) REM.

There again that's only the boxes - the CDs are in the wallets. But I like to keep the boxes.

Funnily enough.. the more I put things in order the more I can never find owt.. My system is ' If it ain't broke don't fix it ' :thumbsup:

Wait, you actually still buy CDs? At a store?! You're living in the past! :) Why not just purchase your music online and download it.

I've given up on buying CDs. The storage technology is decades old. Ugly stack of plastic that just kept growing.

The music is automatically sorted on the computer.

Until your hard drive fails and you lose the lot cos you didnt have a hard copy of it on a CD/DVD somewhere, as very nearly happened to me recently.

I hate to be a bit of a saddo but the only thing I have sorted in order is my large collection of Ladybird books and kids TV annuals/books.

The Ladybird books are sorted into series ie: 1a 1b 1c etc and groups such as Science etc. The annuals are sorted in dates, eldest at bottom, newest at top.

Sometimes I worry that I have too much time on my hands!!

Because the sound quality is crap!

cd`s and dvd`s alphabetically, tinned food neatly ordered :gag: it`s not as perfectly done as it used to be (the tidying illness comes in fits and starts)
