So, I started in on sorting music tonight.
All told, it's a project that would probably take me an afternoon, if I had uninterrupted time to work on it. The way it's looking right now, I'll be lucky to have it finished by the weekend.
I love my wife dearly, but she hasn't taken nearly the care of her music collection that I have of mine, which makes me sad on some level... but with me in the house, that is going to change.
There were so many cases filled with CDs... I've made it through about half of them, sorting based on whether or not the disc was actually in the case. Overall, more music was in cases than not, but that trend only developed after I got a ways into my sorting. What wasn't in cases is either (or so I assume) on a big CD spindle that she has, or in one of a few soft cases/booklets that are designed to hold music. My plan is to:
1) Finish sorting in the case/not in the case.
2) Put all the discs with cases into the bigger boxes she has.
3) Set aside all the empty cases.
4) Sort through the books, and try to match up discs with their respective empty cases.
5) See what's still missing after that, make a list, and look into replacing the discs.
6) Alphabetize.
7) Weed out duplicates based on which disc is in better condition.
I feel good about the progress I've made so far, and I know for a fact that, were I sorting on carpet instead of linoleum, I'd be closer to done because my knees would be happier.
More work on it tomorrow.
