How does everyone organise their Big Finish shelves?
My Eighth Doctor CDs are apart from the monthly range, even the likes of Storm Warning.

In chronological order as it happened to the Doctor with a smattering of novels. Hartnell and Troughton on one smaller CD unit. Pertwee to Colin on the first big CD unit and Colin to McGann on the second big CD unit. Keep box sets separate on top of the units. Have Benny and Sarah-Jane Smith, I, Davros and Unbound in a separate CD rack. Jago and Litefoot are in a storage box as there is no shelf space for those.

CDs boxed up; everything in iTunes.
At first I bought by CD but realized that I couldn't afford everything I wanted that way. It's a lot more reasonable (at least for a US customer?) to buy download-only versions when it comes to price, and I just didn't want to give up a whole bunch of other comforts so I could own them all on CD.

Everything is organized by range in order of release on iTunes. The few CD only releases are shelved by series in release order.

In chronological by Doctor,
Physically all in my lounge.
1st, 2nd. 3rd and 5th Docs in a very large shoebox.
4th Docs in a leatherette Box
6th and 7th in a double Draw Unit
8th Doc and standard Boxsets in a TARDIS cupboard built by my Dad, which used to hold my DW VHS's
Limited Edition Boxsets on a shelf above my CD player.
Regards

In my iTunes, in the order that they happened to the Doctor, followed by Short Trips, Unbound, and then all the spin-offs in alphabetical order by series. It's all under the Album Artist umbrella of Doctor Who Audio Dramas.

I like things in release order by category. So all the Main Range in release order. Benny in release order, Gallifrey in release order, Eighth Doctor Adventures in release order, followed by the box sets. Blake's 7 and Torchwood in release order. Books in release order, separated by category. And so forth. I think you get the idea.  |

Physical copies are boxed up and put away. I'm in the middle of restructuring my downloads. I used to just chuck everything in a "Big Finish Productions" Folder and left the album folders/metadata with however BF labelled things. Then I started putting certain ranges together in one album folder (each new release becoming a track). So for Dark Shadows I have a "Dark Shadows Audiobooks" folder (the album), and each release is a numbered track/filename. DW releases I left as they came, but now my wife is starting to listen to them, I am creating folders (albums) by Doctor, main range titles are split by Doctor but are numbered in release order (so I can put them into one folder in the future). I guess none of this makes much sense (lol) so as a folder structure example, I have something like this: Music Drive - Big Finish Productions - Blake's 7: Audios (full cast) - Blake's 7: Liberator Chronicles (boxsets 1-12) - Dark Shadows: Audiobooks (releases 1-50 + 50th Specials) - Dark Shadows: Full Cast - Season 1 - Doctor Who: Gallifrey (all releases 1.1 - 8.1) - Doctor Who: The Fourth Doctor Adventures (series 1-5) - Doctor Who: The Fifth Doctor Adventures (Main Range) - Doctor Who: The Sixth Doctor Adventures (Main Range) - Doctor Who: The Seventh Doctor Adventures (Main Range)
- Doctor Who: The Eighth Doctor MR Adventures (Main Range) - Doctor Who: The Eighth Doctor Adventures (Lucie ' bleeding' Miller) - Doctor Who: The Eighth Doctor - Dark Eyes (boxsets 1-4)
- Doctor Who: The War Doctor (boxsets 1-) It's still a work in progress and may change again (because I'm a bit strange ), but so far it's working for us  . Cheers Tony |

In Chronological order for the audio adventures of each Doctor in separate piles. Books i keep in a plastic box under my bed and the DVD's are in Order of Doctor on a book shelf.
Once i get another book shelf, i will put all my Doctor Who adventures on there in Chronological order, bar the VNA/MA and EDA/PDA books as they arent part of that set of headcanon. (Although if a book has been adapted by BF, then i will place that next to the corresponding audio adventure)

Wow all these organized people My downloads I don't organize at all. I have the Big Finish app for that now. It does all the hard work for me. The few Doctor Who BF CDs I own I keep on the same shelf as my 2nd Doctor DVDs. My Dorian CDs I keep on my bedside table. I like to think that if Dorian is near me when I sleep it might help me keep my youth. |

I've pretty much taken over the spare room - I dread to think how many CDs are on the shelves, and the 5 series of Benny from the sale won't help! All BF is together (as much as space allows) in release order by range. Special edition sets separate, along with the 4 large format HB books.
Complete classic DVDs in a separate bookcase, and complete run of NA/MA/8DA/PDA in boxes under the bed. Oh, and comics reprints / DWM special editions on top of bookcase by my bed! (I have a very understanding better half!)

Oh, well, since everyone is being more specific about physical CDs versus downloads, I should specify that I mostly buy downloads. Still organized the way I indicated. The CDs are mostly boxed, cause I don't have room on my shelves, which are crowded with an "oversupply" of books acquired by me, my hubby, and my kids over our entire lives.  (Except for the books the kids took with them when they moved out.) But the boxed CDs are still organized as mentioned above. |

A mess, that's how I keep mine. Want to organise it, but every time I try I get overwhelmed by the size of the task.

But then I had to move them off the toddler play table that I was piling them on (and that I still have even though my kids are long past toddlerhood!) and find some place to store them to make room for company visiting overnight and staying in that room of the house. (Oy. Run-on sentence, anyone? ) |

With regards to my downloads rather than my physical releases. I have everything on an external harddrive and an Excel document with production codes (some changed from the official BF one) which I use to organise them and keep track of which I own and which I don't own. A few examples of how I organise it here: This is the overall folder with the basic categories:  Then within one folder:  And within one of those:  And how this is represented on the Excel spreadsheet:  The second "Y" next to The Trial of a Time Lord is to represent that I also own the audiobook. |

My downloads are on one pc, backed up to an external hard drive on a regular basis. I edit the mp3 files into episodic format and change all the metadata, putting the release date at the beginning of the Album Name and replacing Artist with a special code that puts albums in the order they happened to the Doctor, with spinoffs coded to slip in between in the most appropriate places.  |

On computer (iTunes): All specific Doctor Who releases start with "BF" (for Big Finish), followed by my series distinguisher (I don't separate by Doctor or chronology, I go with release order per range), e.g. "BF: 001. The Sirens of Time" for Main Range, "BF: CC: 1.01. Frostfire" for Companion Chronicles, "BF: EDA: ..." for the Eighth Doctor Adventures, "BF: LS: ..." for Lost Stories (I'm sure you get the idea from there). I have similar listings for other series but without the "BF" tag, e.g. "Blake's 7: 1.0. Warship" for full cast stories, "Blake's 7: LC: ..." for Liberator Chronicles, "Torchwood: 1.1. The Conspiracy", etc. A couple have abbreviations, e.g. Jago & Litefoot is just "J&L". On computer (external hard drive): similar to the iTunes listings, I put each series of releases in that series' folder, numbered in release order (with two copies of everything - one download and one CD copy... don't know why I keep the download files once my CDs arrive...). CDs: On the first bookshelf is Cyberman, Gallifrey, Torchwood, I, Davros, UNIT, interview releases and standard edition Light at the End all horizontal along the top shelf, Companion Chronicles, Lost Stories, UNIT - The New Series, Churchill Years, River Song, Third Doctor Adventures and Fourth Doctor Adventures on the middle shelf, and Main Range (stacked vertically in lots of 25), Doom Coalition and the War Doctor sets on the bottom shelf. The second bookshelf has Blake's 7: Liberator Chronicles and full casts and Jago & Litefoot on the middle shelf and limited edition Light at the End, The Sixth Doctor: The Last Adventure and The Tenth Doctor Adventures: Volume One on the bottom shelf. All this will change as more releases are announced (and as I finally start catching up - I've only got two series of Companion Chronicles and Fourth Doctor Adventures, and only 56 Main Range on CD) because the shelves don't have the capacity to hold more than what's already on them... I'm starting to worry actually Anyway, enough of my ramblings! |

External hard drive which is sorted into different folders(for Doctor Who, by Doctor and other ranges like Bernice Summerfield, get their own folder), then are sorted into chronological order.
