Organization Shmorganization
So how many sections do you have? Do you all agonize like I do, about what section to put different artists in? Joni Mitchell? Rock? Women singer/songwriters? With Carole King, Melanie, Doris Day, Debbie Boone? Should I try to separate the vocalists from the writers? That means I have to look them all up and find out who wrote what. Ack.

Soul, R & B, Disco, Funk, Rap? Jazz & Big Band? Which section is Basie in? What if he's not performing with a big band? Male vocalists, soft rock, adult contemporary? Gilbert O'Sullivan, Dan Fogelberg, Gordon Lightfoot? Tom Jones?

I use like four reference books and the web, looking up groups I've never heard of...

Right now I have these sections:
Blank, Homemade, Country, Bluegrass, Trucker, Xmas, 2xl, Soul/R&B/Funk, Disco, Easy Listening/Orchestral/instrumental, Male Singer and/or songwriters, Female singer and/or songwriters, Rock, 50s/60s rock-n-roll, Jazz, Folk, Classical, Blues, Gospel, Polka, Kids, Tributes, Soundtracks, Musicals, Quad, 4-tracks, Reel-to-reel, automobile company tapes, k-tel and other 70s rock anthologies, Teenbeat Superstars try to sing, Cheesey 70s musical duos (Carpenters, Sonny and Cher, Captain and Tenielle, Tony Orlando and Dawn),Comedy, Elvis, World Music, Reggae, spoken word and sound effects. I'm thinking about making a cool 80s section, or punk/new wave, and 60s psychedelic, but I may not have enough examples to warrant whole sections for those. They're in rock now.

Each section is alphabetical by artist, with anthologies at the beginning alphabetical by title. (I work in a bookstore.)

Does anyone else worry about this stuff?
