Ha! Familiar plight indeed. Try having a partner and two kids, as
well as three cats sharing your space AND finding place to stack your
CD's, tapes, vinyl, half-baked CD-R's, music-related magazines - ie
obsession-related CLUTTER. Never mind clothes and furniture!
I find it an utter nightmare, and apart from the question of actual
storage, there's the little matter of locating things. How to
organise them. By label? By artist? Alphabetically? (Gets fuzzy,
people recording under different pseudonyms for different projects).
By date? By country of origin, for goodness sake?
H E L P !!!
I know one collector for whom cost and spatial constriction are not
problems. She has deep purpose-designed hand made drawers that float
out effortlessly, each holding 3 rows of about 30 CD's each (and
there are lots of them) and even she has trouble finding stuff she's
looking for and constantly stresses over re-arranging her music.
She, too, has piles lying around that await being relocated. Once
the given sector is filles and spills over, a new problem begins.
Ideally I envy an acquaintance radio presenter / DJ who has a
converted double garage that doubles as his home studio and the walls
are lines with shelves holding his records and CD's. He has very
very many of both, being in the industry and receiving promo's etc.
Even his lot is not sorted out too logically either :-)
But I think having a lockable walk-in library type space would be the
best solution, in a perfect dream situation.
Good luck and I'm eagerly awaiting workable suggestions.
