Vinyl Me Please (store, exclusives, swaps, etc)

[Andy]

Does anyone have any recommendations for dividers. I think I need to split by genre, then alphabetically. I've never been able to sort them since I moved years ago

if your collection is sorted in discogs order,

I refuse to be a slave to their absurdity! Never! NEVER!

I will take their absurdity over my laziness and ineptitude any day. Chain me up!

What even is discogs order?

My records are organized by how much I like the artist. Fave artists go near the top. Randos go near the bottom. If I have trouble finding something then it’s a signal that their place in the hierarchy needs to be re-evaluated.

But I only have like 450-ish records so it’s rare to spend more than 20 seconds trying to find something.

If the devil was real, and had a discogs account, and that discogs account wasn't just an infinite number of copies of "The Screams Of Mortals" (pressed at Rainbo, in hell because Rainbo is dead)... it's the order they would use.

Alphabetical w/ first name, then release date I think.

As a librarian I have to fight the urge to shelve based on the Dewey Decimal system. But sadly it is not flexible enough for genres, it just uses over-arching terms like Jazz and Pop/Rock. I will just stick with alpha by last name

I would love to have my collection organized. The good thing is that sometimes I come across records that I forgot and that makes me happy. The bad thing is when I'm looking for a particular record ...

Thanks, because I was going WTF is that?

Mine are alphabetical within genres (rock, jazz, soul & funk, latin, blues ,electronic, french, soundtrack, reggae, country and world).

Like a normal thinking person does
Genres (that make sense to me), then alphabetical by artist/band last name. Within the artist it is studio albums in chronological recording order (Blue Note really messes with this), then live albums in concert date order, followed by compilations in date order.

Oops looks like I'm the devil because that's usually how I organize things

But then you end up with KGATLW (amongst others) spread out under different genres, either that or you make exceptions based on artists and if you make exceptions then what’s the point n separating by genres to begin.

 

[BjorgenFjorgen]

Yeah genres seem way too subjective. No idea how that would be easier to use than alphabetical.

It's true, I make exceptions when needed. But I make my own rules because it's my house and not a library, so no problem.

(To be clear, I make no judgement about how others classify)

Word, everyone should do whatever works for them.
