What's the most concerning issue for most people regards CD collections? Space saving? Ripping them?
Well CDNeurotics biggest issue is 'how do you keep track of your record collecting spreadsheet?'
Worryingly the thread stretches to 4 pages in one day - with many other shits chiming in to the OCD support group...
Well CDNeurotics biggest issue is 'how do you keep track of your record collecting spreadsheet?'
I've recently been fumbling together my current CD collection list in a google spreadsheet document, and trying to add in desired ones as well.
Obviously with my current collection being relatively small and with the desire for completeness of long term collecting this is becoming more and more and time consuming. Especially keeping on top of new releases and needing to add in genre information, initial release date and sequential number for the discography. It's getting so bad I actually recently avoided buying an Aerosmith album because I'm not sure I've got the time to add the other 14 do the wishlist of CDs or whether I really want them - once I've bought one I need to complete the set so having one isn't an option.
Not to mention I still need to alphabetise the physical CDs and determine what order to place those in (is Bob Dylan under B or D - these will be choices that will likely stick eternally so need to get them right now. And what about side projects - do the Last Shadow Puppets records get filed by the Arctic Monkeys albums or on their own, if the former how do I jig the spreadsheet up to put them in the right place when sorted by albums.)
