When you have a lot of new music, how do you approach it?

This. But I try my best to access them later and get into them!

I never end up listening to everything I get. Once or twice a year, I try to go through my library and give cursory listens to stuff I forgot I had. Most of it usually gets binned.

D:\Downloads\Music\Listen
I just have this folder in which I collect the music I still have to listen to.
I just zap through the tracks and when I like it, the album goes to
D:\Music\Albums\Artist Name\Album Title

When I buy a lot of records at once, I just put them in a little rack in my studio room instead of in my record cabinet.
I'll just listen to them and I'll move the ones I've listened to to my record cabinet

Really simple.

I know, I don't know why no one else does this

Pretty good idea.
For me, I just drop the new album(s) on my desktop and listen from there. This works for me because I absolutely can't stand anything being on my desktop, so the longer it's there, the more incentive I have to listen to it and then properly tag and store it.

I will admit that I have never thought to separate my music like that. I will be doing this moving forward for sure.

I have a folder for new stuff too, but I randomly DL too much stuff so I often lack motivation to hear it.

I REALLY cannot stand anything on my desktop, so I make a 'cleanup' folder and throw everything in there. So that doesn't work.
