i too have many many records i have no idea who the artist is or the track
name. not that ehy aren't on the record, but it's not how i identify and
know them.
when pitch adjustable cd players first came out i bought one. but i found
that the thing i disliked the most about djing with cds was that it
involved a different mental process to find the next track i wanted to
play. with records i flick through my box and, if i'm on point, the next
record practically leaps out, no thinking about who the artist is, what the
track is called. no thought involved. but with cds i had to stop and think
- what tracks are on here. no cd ever leapt out. i found it really ruined
the exprerience of djing for me.

Re: (313) OOPS
I place a colour every 10 black or white sleaves, and I remember them
by placement.. so if i'm a bit off, its only 5 records away from being
found :)
go brain go!
