In 2024 I finally finished working on final upgrades for my digital playback setup. I also retired in 2024.

I'm now going to work on my storage issues of all my LP's, analog open reel tapes, and CD's.
Right now I'm using bookshelves in another room to separate my classical music from everything else. No particular order for storage arrangement.

I'm currently renting after selling my house in 2024. My idea is to buy another house or maybe I'll buy a cool apartment in Geneva or Zurich.
I want to divide up my classical LP's, tapes, and CD's by composer, everything else no particular order is fine for me.

I've got 7500 classical LP's, 576 classical music on R2R tape, and about 150 classical CD's.
Everything else, mostly rock & roll, consists of about 850 CD's, 24 R2R tapes, and 500 LP's.

Anyway, my final project is media storage and to buy more music. Once I get everything figured out and ideas implemented I'll post some photos of the new media storage room. :)
 
I have found extremely helpful shelves with an LED strip light in the ceiling of each individual box.
