Rank them in order of "bestestness".

The bestest at the front, the worsestness near the back.

Omit Keanu Reeves films from the above and use as book ends.

Take them all down the charity shop, and simply play charades with the family. We're currently half way through the first series of Prison Break. I've been miming "tattoo of the sewer system" for about a month now.

Clearly, everyone's Grateful Dead zone (or in my case, wing) should be separate and in chronological order.

Everything else needs to be alphabetical to stand any chance of finding things. Classical, funk, punk, comedy, spoken word and compilations also get their own zones. Electronica and jazz may qualify too, in time.

But this is all a bit redundant now that the Sonos multi-room streaming system, plus server and lossless library, are in place.......(not to mention the mammoth task of ripping countless CDs last year in one go). Thoroughly recommended as a way to listen to one's collection a lot more, and more variedly (especially when shuffle mode is invoked).

She's just hiding the shíte from you 3BM. If you and I were married I'd just burn the lot.

If you and I were married, rich, I'd let you! :wub:

What, people still buy CD's and DVD? ha :smile:

Anyway I use Discogs for my vinyl

You can add your collection, then you can sort by Artist, Year, Label, Cat No, or Title

I prefer Artist

As I buy a lot of vinyl

As here

now i did notice a couple of Simply Red LP's...

...just remove the label to be on the safe side :thumbsup:
