But yes, that's what I loosely do. Also, "related bands" tend to stick together: for instance my David Mellor CDs are next to Tony Wakeford, which are next to Sol Invictus which are next to Fire + Ice. Which actually reminds me that I should move Sieben there also... What I actually need is a way to build a "relations graph" so I can see the relations of "something" (CD or pack of CDs) with the other "somethings", and the strength of those relations... or something :-PMind Booster Noorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13655245207577274763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17758483.post-20378025534213218812009-03-21T21:40:00.000+00:002009-03-21T21:40:00.000+00:00you could organize by genre, and within each genre...you could organize by genre, and within each genre organize according to the size of each band's discography. compilations w/ only a few good songs may not be right next to any specific band, but they won't be far either. =] hope this helps.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17758483.post-18798298776884182002007-05-10T10:25:00.000+01:002007-05-10T10:25:00.000+01:00Heh, ordering it autobiographicly it's a wild idea...Heh, ordering it autobiographicly it's a wild idea...

As a matter of fact your method might be usable for some people (I guess you're using it?)... just not for me. See, that method would work (and as a matter of fact it can be used as a complement) if I was looking for a way to quickly know where to get the "whatever" album from "The Guys" band. But that's usually not the case! I usually want to listen to something, so I want to surf with my eyes on the shelves and think about what am I going to listen now. And no, there's no database that can give me that, even one with CD-covers and everything (which would be a pain in the ass to maintain) won't give the same feeling as passing my fingers on the back of the CD's, picking one or other to take a deep look, open it and looking to the inners while thinking about another album that one remembers me about, or... well, the whole feeling deeply associated to having a music collection!<BR/><BR/>Besides, how would I number the CD's? How to order them? would it be incremental? Would "The cool compilation volume 1" be #132 and "The cool compilation volume 2" be the #459 ? What sense does it make? Sorry, but your method is completely useless to me...
