Do you have a system when it comes to arranging your books, movies and music?

All of my music is on my laptop, CD's are all one's I've burned, and they are in a cd holder in my car.

I don't own any dvd's/books.

My daughter arranges the DVD's/movies alphabetically, and the CD's I have arranged in 2 piles:

1. Store-bought
2. Pirated from the library on home-made discs and photocopied CD sleeves.

I wish. The books especially, but they just lay where they do and after a while I'm accustomed to seeing the titles alongside each other that they are. But if I had more room and more shelves I would like to get all my Wizard of Oz/L. Frank Baum books together on one shelf, and on another get all the books on myths, legends, and folk tales, and another section for true crime, etc.

I need a system. Maybe I could find what I'm looking for half the time.

Not really. I usually find what I want pretty quickly.

I have no system. I just add every new one I get to the deck.

You would not believe my anal "filing" system for cds. They are grouped by genre, and sub-grouped, and then filed by artist alphabetically. The blues rack also has markers/dividers with the alphabet letters so I'll know where to look quicker. Box sets are simply crammed into a shelf. (I have around 800 cds.)

VHS and DVDs are not filed so well. I try to keep them grouped (Hitchcock, movies made in New Orleans, or San Francisco, comedies, etc.) but it's difficult because the shelf is too small. Christmas movies are in a drawer.

Books are kinda' grouped by subject but not as well. I do have the travel materials in a shelf of its own.

The only "system" I have is keeping multiple titles by the same artist or author or that are in the same film series together.
