I have found using a digital device has increased the efficiency of my artist and album searches tenfold... the state of my actual hard copy CDs as far as organisation goes..... well lately that leaves a bit to be desired...hmmmmm...

Actually, you can export your playlists from I-Tunes and then import them again. This is useful when moving things to another computer, but not necessary if upgrading the version. Still, I've heard of problems with the latest version.
thanks for the feedbaque, now i can blissfully continue my simple-minded existence as an iTunes user with its nice unintimidating layout

I normally go alphabetically by artist. I find it easier to find songs!

With my CD collection: alphabetically by artists, then for multiple albums by an artist, alphabetically within the set based on album title.
iTunes: album by artist. It's basically set-up by artist (when I want Patti Smith I just hit P), but compilation albums and such are filed by the "album artist." So, for example, I'm Not There, essentially a Bob Dylan cover album, is listed among the Dylan albums despite the various artists. I find this arrangement to be very convenient.

I do this too. I've also in the past year started sorting the list not just by Artist, but "Album by Year", this way it's alphabetical by artist, but albums are in chronological order instead of alphabetical.

In iTunes it's like that:

^ By year? Really? Seems like it would get complicated with artists who have discographies over longs periods of time

NumberNineDream 10-22-2009 07:18 PM
^ But that's how I track the artist's evolution in time (Bob Dylan in the 60s is not Bob Dylan in the 90s), or just the music in time. As I prefer the 60s I know where to look ;).

Ha how many albums do you have from 67? Seems like a lot

NumberNineDream 10-22-2009 07:20 PM
not a lot, only 20.
