A music album contains both a CD and a video DVD.

Where do you sort it on your bookshelf?

Depends on whether I have or am planning to collect more CD+DVD combos. If not, it goes in music CDs.

@meganL I now have multiple of these combo albums, so they could theoretically get their own special section, although it wouldn't be very large.
in reply to Nelson Chu Pavlosky

w/ DVDs because the player will also do CDs, but not the other way around

also, both ripped to NAS

@Gizmo No, it's not sorted, that's the problem I'm trying to fix here! :D

Well, the CDs are separated from the DVDs, so I guess it's at least sorted that much, but I'm trying to alphabetize and put things in genre categories, etc.

You may have missed my earlier project to create a card catalog for my home library, which remains extremely unfinished: jawns.club/@skyfaller/10899722โ€ฆ


I've acquired a few card catalog drawers and cards. I intend to make a title-sorted card catalog for my personal library, shelved using an idiosyncratic subject-based system (not DDC or LCC).

Now I have to decide exactly what to put on the cards, in what format.

I have only a tiny number of DVDs, so they donโ€™t really have a โ€œsectionโ€, let alone a filing system. As for CDs, I rip them into my digital library and then throw them in a box to be ignored forever. Basically, Iโ€™m the wrong guy to ask about this.

@donutage I was ripping all my media and ignoring the original format. Then I realized computers are terrible, anything connected to the internet is a security/privacy risk, and screens are distraction engines that make it very difficult to get anything done with intentionality.

Now we try to keep computers confined to our home office as much as possible, and so we have stereos in the bedroom and living room that can play CDs again, and it's great.

I still rip CDs too, as a backup.

in reply to Nelson Chu Pavlosky

I imagine I'd play the CD a bunch, and the DVD once or never, so I'd put it with the CDs. That's where I go when I want to hear something.
in reply to Nelson Chu Pavlosky

@Nelson Chu Pavlosky it depends on whether it is in a CD case (square) or a DVD one (rectangular).

Either way, it's going to be in a shelf that isn't that easy to reach, because it's ripped and available on a couple of external USB hard disk and a media center, for ease of playing :D

@valhalla Ooh, I think you win the thread. This is a very good way to make the sorting decision, and it also supports the majority vote of sorting with music CDs in my collection.
