the main thing is to keep the spines going the same way so
I can read down the row without having to turn my head/
this means some of the cases have to be shelved up side down.
and some of the ones with low contrast color (background/text)
are not easy to read quickly...this is not good thinking by
the producers and "record" label...the album info should be
written on the spine clearly and in easily read font..

Ikea has some cool rubber storage trays that i use on my
radio show...one on each side of the console...and the
discs go from one to the other so i can easily see if i
wrote each one in the play list, and back announce them
by looking at the tray. i think there are 10-12 slots in each
tray...usually just the right amount for one hour's worth
of material on the air.

i have some discs stored by genre--celtic in one rack,
cowboy and wild west in another, swedish in another,
and someday hope to alphabetiZe them all, but so far
only Greg Brown discs are all in the "B" section .
there is always more work to do to organize my life
and it's contents...

some of the racks i have are made to stack with pins
that connect to adjoining racks but i do not have the
matching stackable parts...so seperate racks sit here
and there...not very effeciant....

the radio station has color coded labels which indicate
the style of music contained in each disc and they are
stored by color and then alphabetically. this is a bit
much too organized for a home collection !!
