I think I'm an 8
But the wife says I'm a 10.
The sad thing is, she knows me better than I do, so I suspect she's correct.
I really need to get a life.
I'll admit that all my cd's are filed by composer in alphabetical order and yes I dust them and check them every couple of weeks to make sure that nobody has moved them around, and I can't sleep at night if I lose a cd. I've been known to go on a cd hunt in the middle of the night when I've discovered a cd is missing because someone (my son usually) has moved it and not replaced it in the correct place.
I think I'm beyond help.

maybe a 6.
they're organized a specific way, not with any to-the-letter method but they're grouped by composer and i know where everything is, and they never get into much of a mess, vinyls might pile up beside the turntable to a max of ten or so, but cds are never more than three or four at a time away from their place on the shelf, and never left out of their case, also when i get a new batch in i'll make room for them by switching stuff around (which i enjoy doing a lot more than i should)
when i transfer to flac and then to ipod however, i do get super anal about tagging, all info has to be straight forward and uniform, and it annoys the hell out of me that there's no semblance of industry standard for this stuff. so maybe i'm more like an 8.
or 9.

Maybe sort of a 10-ish in some aspects of it. But it depends on the aspect -
As far as the organising of the CDs goes, yes, strict order, and nothing out of place except when I'm listening to it.
And when I make a new purchase, I just HAVE to hear it on repeat about six times before moving on to something else.
And when I listen, I really mean LISTEN. I dislike the whole idea of "background music" (ironic, considering that's a much-used term for it.) And I do not like to get interrupted when I've sat down to enjoy a soundtrack ("Nip out to the supermarket for me, honey." - That's her talking, not me.)
Box-sets are so great. The TV OMNIBUS and the STAR TREK sets are treasures. But I feel uncomfortable just "dipping in" to them. I feel as though I should be listening to them from Track 1 Disc 1 straight through until the end, several days later. I don't mind "breaks", but I always like to take it up again from where I left off.
Strangely enough, the one thing where I'm not totally anal is in the actual buying. My purchases average about twelve to fifteen discs a year and my collection is tiny compared to many here. So I'm not one for wish lists, and I've also missed out on a lot of things I'd probably have really liked. But I do like to concentrate on what I have.
