Easiest Way to File Music at Home

I've been accumulating quite a bit of music recently, and I'm wondering what other people use to file their music. Any sort of bin or anything? Thanks. Alphabetical order is good.

Sheet music, music books, or CDs?

For sheet music [i don't own much single sheet stuff]-i use binders that are in alphabetical order by instrument. I keep DB music separate from my BG sheet music. Music Books-i keep them on a book shelf. I just moved back home-so i need to go through and organize it again. Normally, i group by topic [method, real book, technique, etc].

CDs-on a shelf. Soon to be ABC order, genre, and closely related groups [e.g. Jaco, Weather Report, Wayne Shorter, Joe Zawinul....Miles, Cannonball, etc].

Sheet music. Mostly printed off Real Books and Worship Music.

You could try one of those accordian folders. Thats what I use and it works pretty well. Or you could get a hanging folder setup.

Ok-if you have the money, i'd get a filing cabinet and do it ABC order.
