I recently pre-ordered the 2025 Classic Doctor bundle from the BigFinish site, and quickly realised that I needed to reorganise my collection so that there would be enough space for said audios when they release.
I then started thinking that there has got to be a better way to organise my collection - order wise.
I know some people do theirs on chronological order - personally think that takes a LOT of dedication and I wouldn’t have the patience - whilst others just do it in order of range.
The major changes I’ve made - not sure if you’ll be able to notice on the photos - is that I’ve got the December Bonus Releases and Companion Chronicles right after the old Monthly Range.
I also completely reorganised the order I had my spin-off ranges in, because I wanted all the Gallifreyan based ranges side-by-side (starting with good Time Lords, then moving into evil ones, and bookended by Dark Gallifrey)
My collection is entirely digital (and not nearly as large as yours) but I order them by ranges, folders within folders within folders. The audios themselves as sorted within by their number, and I don’t bother to order the folders in any specific way. I think, if I had more than just Eight and Torchwood audios, I would probably order them by Doctor/show and then by range, and then chronologically, but there are probably crossover ranges that would mess with that. In digital you can always just have two copies or a link, which isn’t really an option in physical.
My collection is entirely digital. It’s offline on my home server with iTunes as the frontend. It only takes up a couple of hundred GB.
I am starting to buy BF release from eBay when I see them cheap. I have a half width book case that is empty that they will be on. When that fills up, I will buy more and put them in my spare bedroom. Put a sofa in there and my record player, and make it a nice listening space.
My organisation will be:
-Doctor Who-
The Monthly Range
Individual Doctor Ranges
Series featuring The Doctor (CDNM, Companion Chronicles, Lost Stories, Unbound etc)
My collection is completely digital - I’ve moved too much for CDs, but I would completely go by range if I had CDs. Probably something like the MR, each Doctor, special one off sets, spinoffs, and I’d probably either do spinoffs alphabetically or by favouritism
There are some badges at TARDIS.guide that are secret until you unlock them and I see that there is one that you can unlock by rating some of the once in that picture
My collection is very small, only been listening since April, I jusy have 13 boxsets and 3 indiviual cds so far. but i go chronologically by Doctor and then by the release date. Then any worlds of DW stuff comes next by series and release order.
