Good grief. If you're too lazy to do any organizing, you'll be bitching regardless of
your storage medium. A little planning is all it takes. Say you store CDRs in spindles.
Number spindles - 01, 02, etc. Then name each CDR you archive in your cataloguing
software, and label the CDR accordingly.
01-Mariah Scarey, 5 Cent
01-Hard Sell, Pee Diddly
|-Non-Stop Erotic Cabinet
|-1-Crustacean
|-2-Fainted Luv

01-Rap shingles
