I keep them all in a 500GB external HD. All labeled, with artwork, pics, separated by year.

Hard work tough..

I use mp3tag a lot.

I just burn the files to data DVD. (I mostly have lossless files so there aren't too many different shows on each disc.) Then write the contents list on the dvd with a cd marker. If you have mp3 files there may be too many for this but you could number your data discs and keep a record of the contents somewhere else.

got a external 250gb drive for my shows, keep mine all in mp3

for my dvds i got a 510 dvd dj box. I open a excel spreadsheet write the band and then the date and assign a cd sleeve number.

I use inexpensive photo paper. I am not a fan of glossy so I use satin. I keep my shows on a 500G external HD, data DVDs, and burn my favorite shows to CD. I hope this helps.

i've always found that the slightly heavier normal paper works fine for covers. most usual photocopier paper is 80 gram/square inch but the 100gms or 120gms works nicely. that's for using with a laser printer (at work!), though, don't know how an inkjet would come out.
