How do you guys generally go about knowing which album's to post on what date? Do you go through everyone of your cd's to see which ones were recorded on the same day, or is there some secret?  :ph34r:  :g

As for me, just took half a century of interest in jazz.

Then about five minutes each day to add to this great thread... :g

Just speaking for myself, my method is a very inefficient one. I have an extensive LP collection, none of which is catalogued so all that information on each record is not used. However, since I got into CD collecting during the PC era, every time I acquire a CD, I document its contents into a database that includes two fields for the beginning recording date and the final recording date. (If there are several recording dates on the CD, all those in between the beginning and the final one are not retrievable.) I keep a separate subset of this database on an Excel spreadsheet in which the primary sort is by beginning recording date, e.g., 56-09-10, which is Sept 10, 1956. When Sept 10th comes up, I'll do a search on "09-10" which will then yield a number of years (hopefully) from which I'll make a post to the forum. Since, like so many Org subscribers, I now own a couple of thousand CDs and there are a maximum of 366 days in a year, something inevitably turns up. I'm sure you're sorry you asked at this point. B-)

BTW, the database was really constructed not primarily to retrieve dates, rather to do searches of specific musicians, tunes, jazz styles, etc., from which I make terrific personalized CD-Rs for myself and friends if I do say so myself.
