ohhh get you!

I don't have the luxury of living in the provinces @Crackle, with vast swathes of walls to accommodate multiple bookcases. Someones moving into my London flat with their stuff in the near future.

To put it another way, I have a finite shelf life problem.

I mean, why are DVD cases basically twice the size of CD cases ? I've chucked 5 bin bags of DVDs in the recycling and only just commenced with the Americas - such a waste of space...

Ah. You need to see my thread on NAS storage Thom. Dunno how long it would take you to rip them all though, sound like quite a library

The words 'Alan,' and 'Partridge,' spring to mind here.

Feck, I sounded like one of the ponce's I despise! My apologies!
Eliza Dolittle and caro Emerald rool!

Does this imply you don't do popular music then ?

And how do you handle a CD by a perfomer playing works by multiple composers ?

stick em all on a hard drive and put the collection in the loft.

being a rather strange person, mine are arranged by the colour of the spine of the box...

...mostly.

another option i considered was by the height of the age ratings.... going from highest, to none.


alphabetical, genre, director or lead actor... it's all rather dull don't you think?

Can I borrow Moon?

Largely yes. Pop goes random.
I rarely go for performer led CDs but they are in a little group if so.

In truth Thom, it all goes pear-shaped due to laziness. isn't that the usual result for any normal person whichever method you choose?

Mrs 3BM takes a disc out of the player and puts it into the case of the CD she's putting in - there's some discs I've had to re-buy as I've never found them again!

 

[Aperitif]

Next thing Thom, you'll be throwing away the 'h' to save a bit of space. As rich says so eloquently (sp?) "Who gives a fark?"

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

Did you mean, "How do you Handel a performer...."
