Organize Vinyl By First Or Last Name
You alphabetize by first name band name.
Organize vinyl by first or last name. I noticed that itunes organizes it by first name. I am organizing my music library and am organizing them by artist. But do i organize artists by their last name or their first name. Remember to organize in a way that best suites you.
So this better be the best way to do it subjectively. When a business name is. Jerry garcia goes under g not j miles davis is in d not m 2. How it appears on the album cover so in other words the first name is first.
There s too many anomalies with using the last name. But at record stores i think they usually organize titles by the last name of the artist. Should neil young be under y or n. A business name is filed as written unless it is the name of an individual in that case it should be transposed.
There are advantages and disadvantages both ways. I liked having some artists together by first name band name but i didn t like some others. I don t find naming such bands luppi s heaven michele to make any sense. All abbreviations in names should be alphabetized as though they were spelled out.
I m organization obsessed when it comes to vinyl we have around 600 albums organized alphabetically by last name. Last name first name or initial then middle name or initial. Middle names and nicknames should be treated as a part of the given name. Should billy joel be under b or j.
Person artist names have sort name family name given name. Names beginning with an abbreviated title such as dr dj or mc should have the title treated as if it were a part of the given name. If it is a single artist file by last name not first i e. How the fuck else would you title a band like michele luppi s heaven without contradicting the format if you used the last names first.
Alphabetizing something regarding your records is the most obvious and efficient way to organize your records. Do not include the word the in your organization unless you are filing the band the the 3. Don t let the name fool you homfa s tree bookshelf is also a slick storage solution for cds and potentially vinyl. International hip hop soundtracks indie bollywood and a in rotation section for albums we re currently spinning.
Bands get organized by first word ignoring the and have a few separate genre sections. Name of individuals are transposed when filed as follows. This page was last edited on 12 june 2018 at 10 34.
