Ok hmm well i guess the easiest is to sort records by labels (then by cat #). You wont have to bother the name of the artist and still be able to find easily what you want.

Alphabetical order for labels sounds quite logical, though i personnaly prefer to sort the labels by genre, then inside genre from soft to hard hehhe.

The BIG problem is that when you take records for a gig and dont put them back in place becasue you are tired and/or have big hangover. Its merely the same when you get new records you frequently listen to and you dont want to classify.

After around one year of laziness my sorted records look like this (im gonna soon change the IKEA furniture to some bigger IKEA one) :

and the unsorted ones look like this :

(the two bags being filled, and also being open most of the time) which does not make the girls who come to my flat really cofortable with my way of tidiness hmm hmm

I file my records by shape - all the round ones go in a box
:D

Actually, I tend to go with label, artist, sound.
Depends on how I remember the artist - all UR, Red Planet, etc. goes
together, all Axis (and Jeff Mills) into another
then if an artist is on a particular label and I'd think  of the artist
before the label then it goes into a section with only that artist
If it doesn't fall into those catagories then I group it by similar sounds.
It's constantly changing or course

Right now it's a complete mess

get this 313, I have nearly put all my records in alphabetical order. woo.

now I'm making divder cards at work "a" "b" etc... also some artists too.
e.g. "carl craig". woo. i'm gonna have the most organised record collection
in the world.

but, now I have a problem. say in my carl craig section, do I put 'psyche'
in there or what, or does that go under 'p'?

what about compilations? also split eps? arrrgggh.

VOTE NOW> One Carl Craig Section, or "Carl Craig"/"69"/"Psyche"/"BFC" in
seperate sections?

thanks

alex
