The not lost but hard to find art of vinyl records

@dsv1 
I have been using CLZ Music to catalog records and CD’s for last 15 plus years. Completely customizable, folders etc and adding albums is a snap (scan bar code or manually key in title).

@whart thanks will look into it. 

Another vote for Discogs.  I started entering my 55+ year collection 2 years ago.  I don’t view my collection as an investment or part of my portfolio like many Discogs users, so I don’t care if I enter an album with the wrong pressing location or enter it as VG+ when it’s VG.  Once you learn how to enter the catalog number off the spine and select the album, entering becomes a breeze.  I started to create a spreadsheet so my heirs would know what was in my collection when my time comes.  But when I found Discogs I said, "Why reinvent the wheel??"

I do take the time to enter the condition of each album, mainly because Discogs keeps a running total of what your collection is worth based on their sales data.  If I’m unsure of the pressing location, I typically pick the most common entry.  That helped me tremendously when increasing the coverage on my Personal Articles insurance policy.

in my head. I don't have that many. 

My challenge is where to store them. If they aren't front row, easily neglected. And there are only so few front rows.

Outlier here. Memory  About three thousand or more, who knows. Once in awhile I buy a duplicate by mistake. Oh, I had that? Still, way more economical in time (money) than sitting down with discogs and cataloguing. If you've had records since a kid, you know what you have. Rock/soul/folk/BG/country in a closet w good light, by alphabet altogether. Jazz in a downstairs system, by alphabet--although once had it by instrument of the leader first then alphabet, much better. Classical in an upstairs listening room by composer--except multi composers, then by soloist, if there is one. Oddball, world music, ambient, electronic its own shelf same room as classical. Stuff migrates. SoI have one cubby each room for "re-filing." All 180g separate shelves in basement office system. Yes, I find separate 180g setup better. Don't want to mess with VTA, I swap out record mat instead. Better option is separate 180g TT in two of the rooms next to the regular. All modest TTs bought used. My SO cares nada about gear in rooms or decor. My issue w Discogs which I did put about four hundred in before stopping, is that I realized I didn't care what I had. It wasn't about the list. It is about the discovery (rediscovery) of browsing for stuff, and choosing something. The actual object is more appealing to do this with than list or streaming scrolling, although I do that to.
