True. I've tried in an alphabetical order following my collection with discogs but after two weeks was all a mess

numbering each record seems a bit crazy to me...

i have mine by genre and by city/country (so i have some cubes for chicago house, some for detroit house, some for other us house, some for uk house, some for eu house etc) and fairly loosely by label/sound within that. part of the fun of looking for a record is finding all of the other ones you'd forgotten about. unless you have tens of thousands of records i can't imagine it being that difficult to find something if you have it in some kind of genre order.

also how does the label work? you just put it on the spine? and then what you put the records in the shelves in the order you bought them?

if I have more than 3 release on a label they get grouped by cat. no in the my alphabetized label section, if i've only got 1-2 releases on a label then they go via artist name A-Z after the label section. All spine showing, opening at the top. OCD.

Works for me..

My collection isn't huge (around 250 pieces..always growing though ;) ) so i've organized it by genre...and for my fav labels like arpiar, perlon, something..labels i have a lot of releases from..i group them together by cat no. just like the dude above me said!

How should I work if I want to quickly find the vynil I'm looking for AND at the same time, looking for any vynil in a particular style of music depending on the rhythm I wanna give to my set with next track, the way the crowd is reacting at the moment, etc.
How could I combine both thos things at the same time ?
Thanks

unless you have a crowd in residence in your living room i don't think that's an issue

Some rough categories like electro, house, techno, idm, ... and alphabetically by label within those. besides that i regularly pick a box of records (80 - 100) that i want to play with for a while crossing all genres. this core selection will be slightly modified over time by adding and removing single records and after some weeks when i find the time i sort all of them back and exchange the whole box with new picks. i have about 1k vinyls and for me this is the perfect combination of quick access and surprising finds.
