Wow, people have 3000 releases? You are all either way too tolerant of music, or way packratish. I never allow myself to have more than 1000 or so records at a time. Honestly, if you have 3000 records, you probably have 2500 you'll either never listen to again or listen to maybe a track or two from every few years. How can you honestly have a few thousand records you love and rotate them in and out of your CD player? My buddy Josh, who DJs jungle and techno says there's no reason to have more than a few hundred records if you don't DJ professionally (and even then you shouldn't have insane amounts) and I'm beginning to think he's entirely right. On the organization tip, I do it by label, but my cousin, who collects hip-hop and has just mountains of records, does it by how often he plays it. The stuff he plays all the time is in a crate by the sound system, the stuff he plays sometimes goes in crates across the room and stuff he rarely/never plays goes inside a shelf by the closet. I keep meaning to organize my stuff this way but I sell so much of the chaff I don't listen to it so often it doesn't seem feasible. Matt
