ok i just decided to sort out my records and i cant think of a system!!

hows every one else orginised theirs?

on a book shelf with prog on one side, house on the other

that's a good question...i've thought about the same thing...

i was thinking you could either do it by

Label (if you get a lot of promos or something)

or

artist

either way i'm gonna build a SQL database and asign numbers to each one...i figured that would be helpful...

whenever I play something, it gets put back on the stock at the front. kind of self-sorting that way into similar styles

Alphabetical , but first split it in 2 sections. Played alot and not played that much...

___________________

Most recently played at the front of the box, then in chronological order towards the back

oh well seems like everyone does what ive done in the passed of putting most recent played at the front.

ive tried alphibetical, vocal/non-vocal and label and they all sucked.

its just i moved them all and now they aint in a most recently played order. this is gonna take bloody ages to sort itself out

By BPM & i'll hold a couple tunes that I wanna start off w/ to the side...

ones i like atm, in box next to decks

all others on shelf.

___________________

mainly by label, if not then artist. an of course there is an unsorted section.

see below:

I use styles - one end is warm-up, then clubby/commercial (stuff that people recognise), then european, then harder, then Bonzai/green martian/xtc/tripomatic then techno (eve/telica). VERY broad but through that I can slot stuff in (I put for example Drop-Out stuff before my bonzai section cos I prefer to drop the Bonzai stuff later on, I slot ITWT tunes around the same slot as Tsunami). No total rhyme or reason but it makes sense to me.
