years ago there was an attempt to organize my cd-s by style, but then styles
got a bit confusing, so now i just add new cd-s next to previous ones.
similar to an other guy, if got something new from a artist i already have
cd-s of, i add new one to others by this artist. I also keep a word
document, where i tried to create some categories. It doesn`t help at
finding records, though. but I have generally good overview anyhow, still,
but for how long? ...
categories in my "word file":
- BRITISH
(everything of British Origin or Influenced by those of...
i.a. GUITAR-POP, CLASSIC PUNK, "INDIE", SYNTH ...)
- PSYCHEDELIC, NOISE, KRAUTROCK + all kinds of weirdness
(Alternative)ROCK, (INDIE)POP, PUNK
- CLASSICAL
- RUSSIAN
- CLASSIC SOUL & FUNK(y stuff)
- HOUSE, CLASSIC DISCO, DRUM N` BASS + other dancable groove
- JAZZ, LATIN, BRASILIAN (BOSSA & SAMBA)
-REGGAE & DUB
-EASY & MELLOW (EASY LISTENING, CHILL-OUT ...)
-AMBIENT, TECHNO, ELECTRO, EXPERIMENTAL, BIG-BEAT
-RAP, HIP-HOP, TRIP-HOP, R&B
-METAL, INDUSTRIAl, HARD-ROCK(&ROLL)
