We shelve by genre, and try to emulate what the record stores do.  Our
categories are:

Rock
Pop
Classical
Country
Jazz
Blues
Movies and Musicals
New Age
Miscellaneous (Folk/Ethnic/World/Religious)

The CDs in each genre are filed alphabetically by performer.  The exception
is classical, which is shelved mostly by composer (there are sometimes
exceptions with compilation recordings).

Our generous Friends group purchased "browser" furniture similar to what you
see in record stores, with multiple levels.  This arrangement has increased
our CD circulation dramatically.
