Tuesday evening I decided I would get around to rearranging the CD's in my 200CD changer in some sort of order so I could choose the first CD and have it play several like discs in a row.  I made a preliminary decision to have 10 disc sections of the following:

Enya & Friends (Yanni, Loreena Mckinnet, Kitaro, etc. etc.)
New Age Collections (mostly K-tel type with various artists on each CD)
Asian Classic & New Age (Yo Yo Ma, Kitaro, and various - mostly Japanese - CD's)
Classic Classics (Mostly Chamber music but some other stuff as well)
Flamenco Guitar & Mariachi (half and half I love both)
Background Nature (Thunderstorms, Rivers, Jungle, Bayou....stuff like that)
Oldies but Goodies (some 50's but mostly 60's and some early 70's)
Feel Good Music (primarily 70's stuff K-tel collections and lots of James Taylor & Cat Stevens)
Folk/Rock style (Melanie, Rickie Lee Jones, Peter Salett, John Meher, Bonnie Raitt, etc. etc.)
SoundTracks (Remember the Titans, The Full Monty, 91/2 Weeks, Drowning Mona, etc. etc.)
80's Rock (Compilations, also REO Speedwagon, Def Deppard, Van Halen, etc, etc. etc.
90's & early 2000 Stuff (Gin Blossoms, Hootie, Matchbox 20, Counting Crows, etc. etc.)
Country and Country-Like (The Band, The Corrs, Dixie Chicks, Classic K-Tel CD's, Waylon, Gary Morris, EmmyLou, etc.)
Disco (mostly K-tel type collections, Hiroshima, and the Soundtrack from Saturday Night Fever)
Soul & Blues (some compilations, also Nina Simone *I worship her*, Marvin Gaye, Teddy, Al Green, etc.

>>> pretty sure I missed a few, but I forgot to bring my list to work with me<<<

It involved pulling everything out - determining if something in my off-line collection (I have about 200 offline as well) wants to be included - then deciding what online needs to go to make room etc. etc. etc.  

This is what Vicodin does to me........ and I like it!

I couldn't fit in a section for traditional & contemporary Hawaiian music (love it and have a lot of it) or Zydeco/Mardi Gras type music (also have lots of it), or Goth Music (I listen to this mostly during Halloween season, it's a long story on why I have so much....haha).  
If this changer ever bites the dusk, my next one will be a 400 changer :-)



Tonight I will get the livingroom back to looking more like a livingroom and less like a grunge band's garage.

Silly me, i only thought of Yo Yo Ma as doing Western Classical music; what else does he do?

Melanie!? Now your going back in time and obscurity; she was/is an interesting character.

Where is your Ray Charles? Everyone needs at least his greatest hits!

I could have put him one line down with the "classical classics", but everything I have from him is in my Asian area. I have this one: http://www.amazon.com/Japanese-Melodies-Hiroaki-Naka/dp/B000002628/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1197579791&sr=8-1 and he performs on it.
I also have the Silk Road Journey CDs.

I love Melanie and a lot of the 60's era crooners (Bob Dylan, Arlo Guthrie, Joni Mitchel, Joan Baez (is she 60's?) :-)

I have a track or two of Ray Charles in compilations, but I don't have anything by him alone. There are so many CD's I wish I could own, but I just can't afford it :-)

Synchronicity - I just did the same thing to the mess in our living room too! In fact it gave me the idea for my hubby's Christmas present. I bought a USB turntable (boy have they come down in price!) and I plan to convert the hundreds of LPs we have to digital format! Wahoo - it's work, but we have some wonderful stuff hidden away on vinyl.

I had to look up what a USB turntable is. Ha!

I'd like to get all my CD's into a digital format. I have no clue how to do that. Maybe when I get a computer that would be capable of even doing something like that I'll look into it :-)

Your icons crack me up.
