My husband says I'm anal about the way I organize my music collections. I have them organized in 5 different categories based on my music interests. I then put them all in alphabetical order by artist then title. My five categories are Rock, Country, Childrens, Christmas, and other. My other contains mostly compilations, for example, one CD is Traditional Wedding Music.

If you're a music lover and you've got hundreds of CDs or thousands of downloaded tunes then keeping them organized so that you can actually find what you want when you want it can be daunting.
Ever wonder how to re-use the containers that you buy your CDs or DVDs in? Well, we use them to hold our music CDs, instead of going out and buying a CD case of some sort!
I have well over 100,000 digital recordings. I can't see the benefit of tagging them. I downloaded three different tagging software to add all sorts of meta data to each file.
