My solution:
1500 CDs....
I have a huge rotating rack that I store things...
some by artist (and related) i.e. Autechre/Skam,
Aphex Twin, anything Global Communication do, etc.
Then I have some by label... Rephlex stack, the
Source stack, the Ninja Tune stacks, etc. etc.
I also have a special CD rack just for FAX records
releases.... I have around 80 of them, so they fit
nicely in one of those cheap black plastic things.
Then sorta kinda by style.... a few stacks of
mixed CDs.... and the rest is just thrown in there
where ever I have room.
I also have two fully-packed US Post Office crates
filled with CDs I don't usually listen to, but
feel like holding onto (for some reason).
1300 Records....
Bought industrial shelving from Home Hardware for
$40. All the stuff I usually play out is kind of
in the middle of each shelf. The stuff I don't
play out too much is on the sides... crap is on
the bottom. Some jungle-related stuff is on one
shelf on the left-ish side... :) So you see, I'm
organized.
Not to mention the 100+ records and CDs strewn
all over my floor and covering all my equipment.
