This also could be applied to computer files fanatics!
So I read that other thread and marleypumpkin said that "he jumped to the S section" which makes me think he orders his CD collection alphabetically. What about you? Are your discs (or MP3/FLAC/M4A/whatever) just thrown loose in no particular order on your shelves, are you really meticulous, etc?
As for me:
My discotheque is on three shelves: on the shelf on the down, there's all the CDs by the bands that I enjoy the most and from whom I have at least 2 CDs, ordered by bands and chronologically (Sonic Youth, MBV, Mogwai, Godspeed, Liars, Slowdive, Animal Collective, Tortoise, The Fall, Battles, etc, go there). On the middle shelf there's CDs by other bands from whom I have at least 2 CDs (and chronologically as well): there goes TV on the Radio, Radiohead, Boards Of Canada, The Cure, etc. Then finally, the highest shelf contains CDs by bands from whom I only own one disc.
I'm a bit of a maniac, I guess.
On my computers things are simpler, though it used not to be (previously I had at least 6 different mp3 folders): I only have a folder where all the stuff I download (slsk, rapidshare, etc) goes, a folder for Sonic Youth boots and stuff, and a folder for tracks I import from CD on iTunes, which generally is empty as I delete the tracks as soon as I put them on my iPod, which is why I make MP3 of it.
