[78-L] How do you organize your collection?

[neechevoneeznayou at gmail.com]

I have mine organized to a degree. Beginning with size. 10", 12", 16". 
Then speed - 78 and LP. Then format as well - CDs are separate from 
cassettes, records, open reel tapes. That should be fairly obvious as 
these are all different sized. Classical in in one place. Subdivided 
into piano, orchestral, vocal. Popular is not so well organized but it 
is smaller and also divided by format. Then there is misc. & spoken. 
Test CDs.

Piano is alphabetized by last name. CDs also. Transcriptions are 
organized by classical, pop, OTR and by something resembling a last name 
or title.

I have not quite figured out what to do with cassettes, CD-Rs, open 
reels that I recorded myself which have various performers contained in 
one item.

I was working hard on this and then got distracted by other things. Now 
I've just started a deep decluttering.

It never seems to end.
