Its when other people start playing with them that you start having problems.
I have another rule. You mess my stuff up once, I kick your ass once, and you no longer touch my stuff.
How do you organize your music collection?

Clarinetist, I hope you are talking about the original movie cast. Zero Mostel
By the way, Topol is doing a farewell tour, I am hoping to get tickets.

No... The original broadway cast. Sorely missing Topol, but otherwise I much prefer it (musically) to the movie. (I the movie, though. )
Hmmm... Thats a though. If its just your kids that are messing with your CDs, you can always use one of those sounds that you lose the ability to hear as you grow older... They played one in our physics of sound class to demonstrate... Actually managed to scare away a tour group that happened to look in the lecture hall at the wrong moment. Its as annoying as anything if you can hear it, but I think you can't after, like, 25-30.

So C, what do you think of Glenn Miller?

C must have gone to bed.
I have collected a lot of Glen Miller over the years and it is usually my wife who plays it, and it is usually played on an old Sansui with a very nice set of speakers in our bedroom.

Part 1: By favourite artists (4 or 5) and then sub-divide chronologically each of them.
Part 2: Next group of artists (the rest, that is): Chronologically 2 groups ('67 and the rest), then by artist and chronologically for each of them.
Much work at times, but in order to find THE cd I am looking for, I've got to have a system. When an artist join another band - I hate it, 'cause it disrupts my system. Not to mention collections, where the artist has been in a number of bands - again, I hate it, same reason.
Insane? Perhaps yes. Workable system? Yes. Much work? Oh yes.

Mine are sorted alphabetically by artist and then chronologically by release date. The thing I never know what to do is with an artist's side projects or collaborations, Should side projects be filed with the artists main project or under their own name. For example should The Gentle Waves be filed under Belle and Sebastien or The Gentle Waves or should I just try to get out more?
I have a lot of them on the computer ripped to WMA lossless and then played via a decent sound card to the stereo, I could stand listening to horrible tinny computer speakers when I have much better speakers on the stereo.

I keep my collection in alphabetical order, according to the artists' last names. If that is identical, I use the first name, then the date that the album originally came out. They are stored on huge spinning racks (one holds more than 1,000 and the other more than 1,500), with the CD in the jewel case at all times when not in use. Collections are kept sorted by era and then by title--so I have a section with nothing but 1960s music, one with 1970s, one with "evil disco that leads to fornication (yet didn't despite my having more than 600 disco songs), one with 1980s, one with 1990s, and one with today's collections. Multiple disc sets are kept by disc number.
However, it doesn't help if you have several people sharing your collection. You can put them away, only to have someone else (and children are most likely to do this) leave them lying around, lose or bust the jewel case or the booklet, and place them out of order. One solution is to not allow younger children to take the CDs out without supervision until they are old enough to understand your sorting system and responsible enough to uphold it. If this is not the issue (you have drunken adults leaving CDs out), it becomes more difficult to keep them organized.

Organise music? Mine resides in cracked and broken crystal cases on the floor of my car.
