I used to organize my shows by sound quality, but since I have like 5000 cds, and most of them live shows, I put all the artists in alphabetical and chonological order.

The live show the corresponds with that artist by chronological order as well. So its: the artist > chono. album > chono live show. It makes things a lot easier with findign a show to view. I also re-burn all my live cdrs once a year to perserve quality, and the cds as well.

With Buffett, I threw out all my RM real audio sourced shows out, so all I have are soundboard, audience (real good ones I mean) and sirius sourced shows only. Because I want the highest quality. The real audio, total recorder sourced shows sound like crap.

Check out http://db.etree.org/ it is a traders site, but you can list the shows you have for you own use.

I burn every decent sounding concert to audio CD. With shows I record, I then convert the WAV files to Apple Lossless and archive several shows on a DVD DL as a backup. But it's getting harder to manage all the data. The whole thing is over 160 GB right now.

I have my concerts listed in chronological order. I based that on the way the folders were listed on the FTP server. I also use iTunes to play my MP3. There is a setting in iTunes to keep music organized. So mine are labeled with the date, city, and state (YYYY.MM.DD - City, State). So the MSG show is called "2006.09.14 - New York, NY". The track are listed in order since I add the track number, title, artist, album name, etc. in iTunes.
