Eek!
Help!
I am being pursued by a wild GK like creature.
Oh wait.
It IS GK!
Nothing more to worry about then

Ah yes good job we are in the modern age, there's an app for that lol.
How do the owners of mega collections store them and organise them physically.
Has to be a daunting task! |
For example I read in another thread of someone having 25000 lps and knowing people who had a million of them.
Say what?
Just HOW in the world do you store them AND be able to access them and actually find something you are looking for?? |
That would help for sure Steve.
My mind still boggles at the sheer shelf space taken up by say 100k records and how to find or decide what to listen too.
I imagine a sort of huge library where the owner has a set of steps on runners to whiz round and pick out albums from the upper reaches!

I still cannot really get my mind round what 25000 records stored in an archival and easily accessible way can look like.
Has to take up an entire room?
I get frustrated at times with my small collection even though it is in alphabetical order
|
There is definitely a LOT of thought and effort going into some peoples collection and organization of the same.
@noromance.
I like the idea of doing record store style but that must take up a lot of floorspace if you have a large collection?

@tubegb
Lol
Glad its not just me then!
I suppose I should catalog them, add to a spreadsheet and have a copy on my phone. That way when perusing my LRS I can check if I already have it.
But I am too lazy so far and rely on memory which gets a little rusty with the years it seems! |
Defrag the human brain!
If only! Think what it might do for GK!
But then again what fun would life be without all those absolutely useless pieces of trivia you accumalate over the years!
|
That does sound a decent idea as yes when I buy new albums I am sorting alpha and when a cube is full then have to start shifting more albums over which can then have a serious knock on effect!
Had a purchase of just 3 albums cause 1 hours worth of moving and rethinking other albums! |
|
Agreed on Ikea, I hauled 5 units up from Orlando in my old El Camino, poor thing was dragging its behind with the weight....lol.
Of course couple months after that they opened an Ikea in my town, go figure!
|
I still cannot begin to imagine what a million records looks like in accessible storage!
Mind boggling is about as far as I have got my head round it so far |
You are correct...lol
If you assume 1 hour per record, non stop is approx 114 years worth.
|
Discogs does seem to have a lot of supporters.
Going to investigate while my collection is manageable!
|
2 channel.
Yep that darn job and work lark is well over rated....lol.
Gets in the way of serious music time! |
Why on earth would you expect any angry emails after that post?
πππ |
Its slow going round here.......

Lost track but that might be the first example of cataloging on Excel which is what I initially had in mind to do. |
