Or am I alone on this? Sometime I misplace a few, as if they got up on their on and took a stroll like playing hide and go seek. Right now I'm missing 1999 and Come cd's. In other words I think my Prince CDs deserve special treatment. hee hee

That's why you can't be letting just anyone up in your spot! Thieves in the Temple!!!

I know what you mean. I have tons of Prince cds and one day I wanted to play TRC and The Gold Experience for which I had 319 repeating in my head. Pissed me off coz I could not seem to find them. Ended up not bothering to look but I know they are among my biggie pile of cds. Last week I found TRC while looking for some other cd

And people laugh at us, the alphabetically sorting guys

Who laughs last now?

No.

I have been collecting music since I was 15 years old and I never lost a thing.

If something is important to me, then I look after it.

I couldn't find 3121 for ages when I was ripping my collection to the computer. Wasn't in the case and I had no idea where it was. Found it after a few months in an old CD player.

Yeah me too - keep the Prince ones in a box (have them all on ipod and portable hard-drive as well for the media player) & the other artist albums in another box.

I try to keep things sorted and I make sure I dont scatch cases etc too.

But this is no suprise, I also keep all my shoes and bags in special storage boxes - abit of a neat freak.

I've "missplaced" a Gotta Stop UK 12".

I am too. A lot of other people I know live like pigs rolling around in their own shit, then they have a cheek to complain when they can't find something or something gets broken.

People have had a laugh at me for my alphabetical filing systems. But, when you have thousands of CDs and DVDs, it's the only way to find stuff. Anyway, it beats the Dewey Decimal System...

Cue all the younguns asking, "The Dewey whatnow?"

Ok, I'm 42 but I still need to ask! Is it an American thing?

Doesn’t happen. Because I ripped all the stuff worth hearing to disc about ten years ago.

I just recently rearranged my bedroom so all my cd's are out of order

Prince usually has an 'exclusive' cd pile. And the rest are artist alphabetical order.

It's a library filing system that was taught to everyone in school when I grew up (I'll be 42 in 1 week). As far as I know, libraries in the US still use it. It's just that nobody uses libraries...

and ones with cases

[img:$uid]http://i49.tinypic.com/2ih1d01.jpg[/img:$uid]

I keep them in 2 spots, the ones on top in a fellowes CD wallet from when I went to Korea 10 years ago and wanted to not have to pay extra luggage fees. I stupidly threw out the cases and only kept the slicks for some of them. Ones underneath live in the bottom drawer of my beside chest. All of them are digitalised now, but I keep them on as the computer usually crashes and wipes everything, plus they look cool.

I found 1999 CD today in some boxers in a bedroom cabinet because I didn't want it to get scratched!

Wow!, a little more impressive than a microchip with a bunch of music on it (no offence to downloader's).

In the days before computers, they were my lifeline, and thank God computers still play Cds. These are some durable motherfuckers. The Dirty Mind and Controversy CD's were played about 1000x and they still work perfectly.

My advice for the original orger, when you find it, keep them altogether, if they are in the car with you, slip it in your briefcase when u get out and put it back on the stack with others. I was always raised with the adage "A place everything and everything has its place" and are used to always putting stuff away when I am finished with it. Without this adage, its all Chaos and Disorder

Same here, I was 14 when I started collecting music as well.

Yep, I have all my CDs on portable hard-drive (and iPod) but in the car I take the physical CD - I find that I may forget to unplug my iPod in the car so take the actual disc. I take the one I want to listen to, and when finished take it back inside the house, put it away and select another - works for me. I have them safe and not getting scratched or broken cases.

Boots - well I admit I only copy the favs onto CD but keep all else on a portable harddirve which I can then hook up to a media player or my PC - or transfer across to the iPod if wanted.

I have all my CD's organized by year. That helps.
