How organized are you with your music

Not organized at all. The artists are grouped, but that's about it. I find that when I'm looking for a certain one, sometimes I have to go throught them all, maybe twice, but during the search I'll run across something I haven't listened to in a long time, and will give it a spin. I may forget about who I was trying to find initially. I know it's crazy, but where most people know right where to look, they may never play others because they weren't looked over.

I have around 800-900 lp's, I'm guessing 400-500 cd's. One cassette tape.

What do folks do when bands or flicks are named A... ?? or The... ??

I'm always torn between keeping or dropping the A & The from the names... yet thereafter I can fail to remeember I did..... but there's sooooo many A's & The's.

By playing time from shortest to longest.

Tiebreakers are:
Catalog number
Vinyl thickness
Label color

1. Alphabetical order.
2. Mono or stereo.
3. Country
4. origial release or reissue
5. Type of music.

Ignore "the" and "A".
If you can't figure that one out on your own, I suggest Audiofeil's recommendation.
