Howdeee!
My collection consists of approximately 1000 Lps and 200 CDs. I prefer vinyl for its sonic properties, a few pops and clicks never bother me. Another reason I prefer vinyl is because I like changing the music often whether the mood is to stick with the same genre, or change it. CDs go on for over an hour and can cause me to loose interest in the music. I will often record some tracks from an LP mixed with other LPs and enjoy that CD in my car or just relax in my listening room without having to change an Lp.
All music is listed alphabetically by first name. This is the best way for finding things quickly and easily. In the past 20 years, I tried by last name, band name, genre. It's simpler to go by first name regardless of genre. "Collections" are tricky, but I have one small shelf for collections.
Also, this year I splurged, drove for 3 hours and purchased 2 shelves from Ikea- the "Expedit" shelves. Lps fit perfectly and they really looks sharp. I considered building custom shelves, but these are much better in that they can be moved. With this crazy hobby, built-in shelves might be a mistake.
Email me if you wish to see the shelves.
Enjoy!!!
