I just organized my cd's somewhat

I have roughly 700. Damn thats alot. I am pretty selective on what stays. I usually sell off the shit that doesn't do it for me. Needless to say these all did something for me at one point of my life. I can still think of stuff I want to get but 700 cd's of stuff that ment something to me is alot of music.

Now before you go off and say I got 5,000 keep in mind a flood ruined a huge chunk of this cd collection along with memorable 7"'s and vinyl records.

I still have about 90 more cd's to find that were ruined.

I'm still trying to save up enough money to buy new jewel cases & a large storage unit to put my 700-800 CD's in from the move down here. I just put the CD's in CD-R spindles of 50 and packed up the booklets with them.

I think I got rid of a KMFDM cd once, I bought it, took it home, listened to 45 seconds of it, and sold it shortly after the shop refused to take it back

I sold a Beastie Boys cd once too but it was a new one & sucked. I've kept everything else.

movin in with my girl soon and she has roughly 300+

storing all this crap properly and neatly is going to be a bitch

I got rid of some cd's by selling them on ebay or at local record store.

I recently went through some of the piles of cds I have laying around (for lack of proper storage room) and instead of trying to sell my cds I just tossed a bunch of them. I have something over 500 cds and Im sure 200 of those are in piles around the living room. We've just run out of room.

I used to be really anal about mine being in alpha order, but I ran out of space in my racks so there are a few piles that are not organized at all. I think I have about 1400 CDs

I have seven 3 inch thick binders with cd sleeves. Each sleeve holds 8 cd's. I probally have 2000 to 2500 cd's. They are in alphabetical order. It was a fucking nightmare when i organized all that shit. But now it's easy to keep up to date. I did the same thing with my DVD's. It takes a lot less space to store now. I used to have to shelving units full of cd cases now I have one shelfof one unit. I packed all the cases in boxes and stored them in the garage.

I rip the songs, burn data discs and then re-sell the Cds back.

If I were to say how many "records" I have......maybe 7,000.......

I have 1000+ cd's, all in alphabetical order, and each band has their albums in chronological order. I'm seriously anal about that shit.

Between my girlfriend and I we have nearly 1000 dvd's. I have six shelves that cover two walls in my apartment to hold all the cd's and dvd's.

XHonusWagnerX - 3-30-2007 at 12:15 PM

I wish I could get rid of them and just ripp to my pc or put them in binders to save space, but Im to anal about the cases and artwork and what not. Same thing with DVDs. I do have my copied movies in binders though.

Those binders make me nervous, a friend used to keep them like that...someone walked off with his entire music collection under each arm.

i think i have about 7 or 800 CDs organized loosely by genre (hardcore, rock & metal are all lumped together, then like jazz, classical, drum & bass, etc), then alphabetically, then chronologically. vinyl is down to about 600 pieces. i only keep the stuff i really want. if i don't listen to it, it's out.

it's been a long time since i've thinned out the cd collection. i haven't been buying many cds in recent years, so those i have bought i knew would be keepers. cds don't seem to have much value, they either are given away or taken to the local used record store. selling a 'lot' of cds on ebay can work out well, too. vinyl sales, obviously, are almost exclusively ebay.
