What Do You Own? 
Without the assistance of a music cataloging program, storing albums in a way that organizes and tracks the information described above is impossible. Without this assistance, some albums are never played solely because they're filed in a manner that impedes their selection. If albums are filed by composer, outside of knowing the location of most of the Schubert recordings, what do you really know about your collection? What if you're in the mood to play an album based on several of the other factors described above? Given a collection of any size, it would be difficult to determine which albums fulfill your listening criteria.

To compound these problems, the method used to file albums cannot track the factors that are the foundation of that system. For instance, when searching for the best rendition of the Mussorgsky's A Night on Bald Mountain, it's easy to overlook a version filed with the composer of the album's other composition. And if your sole rendition of the Berg Violin Concerto is filed under the album's other composer, you may forget that you own a copy.

Where Did You File It?
Even if you can remember what you own, with a collection of any size it's difficult to remember where you filed each album. How long would it take to locate that rendition of A Night on Bald Mountain mentioned above? Without appropriate help, your ability to locate each album's filing location diminishes if your collection is in various storage locations–such as different homes, rooms, cabinets, and shelves.
