[net.records] classifying records

hstrop (05/28/82)

How about using a database format for storing and arranging your
records? You could number each record in order of purchase and
include items like artist, type of music, title, mood, etc. in the
database:

102:Beethoven:3rd Symphony:classical:rainy day:
173:Dead Boys:Dead Boys Alive!:punk:nuclear attack:

Then use something like "dbselect" in UNIX and just ask for the 
categories you're interested in and the number(s) that qualify. It
might take a while to set up initially (especially if you have 
1000 albums) but once done all you need is a terminal. Come to think
of it, this makes a great excuse to buy that home computer you
always wanted...
