I dont follow the discogs system as i can find everything myself for how i have it organized.

I keep Alice Cooper under A because it was a band before it became a person. If it was always an artist, then itd be filed under C.

I have too many records and too little memory to find everything without some occasional assistance.

 

[Hemotep]

Do you put everyone by first name then?

Btw, @TenderLovingKiller®, this isn't a mocking question. Genuinely curious. I used to sort by discogs, but I like a little more separation between some genres now.

Let me stew on that for a bit.

At least none of you are sort by color madmen.

Sort by the color of the spine for dozens of instagram likes.

I do doubt anyone here would think of the actual Tribe band, but I usually do say the full name too. At least for first mention in a conversation.

I mean cubes of Colemine records would look pretty sharp. Those mofi shelves always look nice. I don’t want to have to pull out a database to remember where I put something.

JFC you people are making me think about work on this most solemn and sacred Canalandia holidays, Victoria Day.

File your records how you want but to do it correctly you need to ignore the first A or The etc.

Now back to thinking about what I should have for lunch.

Wait, you guys don't file by the label's catalog number?

I only need the discogs to figure out if i have a particular album if in away from the collection, but if im looking for an album in the collection and im there i can find it

I also subdivide by genre

 

[TrainFan73]

Well then you have to consider where to put the labels…

 

[gcowgill]

Alphabetical by label, of course, and skipping articles.

First off HOW DARE YOU!!

Btw, @TenderLovingKiller®, this isn't a mocking question. Genuinely curious. I used to sort by discogs, but I like a little more separation between some genres now.

Secondly, yeah all the Bob’s, all the Tom’s all the Steve’s and all the John’s are grouped together sitting together side by side.

I would to separate by Genre but I like too many artists that are “genre fluid”. Do I keep Wilco with The Rock titles or Alt Rock or Country? I don’t wanna think about that when I am looking for a record.

Plus you get some fun neighbors like Sister Rosetta Tharp next to The Skull Snaps and Slayer.

I'm at a parade AND engaging with this!

Here is a brain twister. Where do you file Alice Cooper (band) and Alice Cooper (performing artist)?

Youre thinking to much dont sub genre your genre sections. I keep mine simple:

Rock/Metal
Jazz
Classical
Country
R&B/Funk/Soul
Rap/Hip Hop
Pop/Dance/Electronic
Salsa
Christmas

And then all my japanese artists/bands are together subdivided into the Rock/Metal, Pop, and Jazz

Together, as they were a band before Vincent took over completely

If Mandolin Orange ever releases their first album on vinyl, it will be as Watchouse and I will die of an aneurysm.
