Bearheart Curious: How do you organize your music? (45) RE: Curious: How do you organize your music? 31 Dec 03


I assumed when I saw the thread that you meant the written down stuff (sheet music, songs). I have a (Celtic mostly)song book which I have stored on a dic and update from time to time, which gets printed and bound at the copy shop. I am very anal about it. Songs are catagorized in sections, by theme(happy love, ironical/comical love, immigration, nature, social comment, seasonal--as in harvest songs carols etc--Robert Burns, and so on).

I am less organized with music. I don't play my LPs much anymore but can't bear to get rid of them. My collection of CDs is fairly small. Tapes I have more of since I like to make compilations for listening to while in the car, and I have stuff from old Thistle and Shamrock programs etc. Since I don't have a storage unit big enough for every thing (CDs), Celtic and Scandinavian goes one place, other ethinic another, New Age and spiritual another, and classical still another. The classical is mostly my husband Crow's music, and is totally unorganized (and he's a Sun/Moon in Virgo-- go figure). I don't attempt to organize by title or musician since I have so few and I know my favorites, which are easily recognized. The same is mostly true of tapes. I also have to say that since I tend to listen to the same thing in cycles, the current favorites are usually not in the storage unit but on a shelf near the player. I try not to keep more than 5 out at a time...
