Wow, I think Nuno's system trumps all of our binder system. My buddy would be impressed with your LaTex one, hes a math major, as thinks its LaTex is the greatest system ever.
I agree, it is! ;)

I do a hybrid of sorts. Mostly PC based. I keep a spreadsheet going of all the songs I know, partially know or intend to learn, along with a little note to myself about how far along I am or what I need to work on next time I try it. It was from this sheet that I figured out that I'm trying to learn WAY too many songs. I pared the active list down to 1 and then 2 sets of 21 songs each. For those songs, I have folders with the chord sheets in them (both in a physical and digital sense) that I can easily get to.
However, I think that initial active group of 1 or 2 is growing to 3 or 4, but I think I'll cap it a 4 for quite some time.

I have a folder on my pc with everything in it. And about 200 sheets of paper scattered around anywhere i go.

Ah yes, a virtual folder.
Those come in handy too.
But eventually you'll have to stare stark reality in the face and corral those papers into a real folder.
It's the rock that gives the stream its music . . . and the stream that gives the rock its roll.
I'm about the least organised person in the world, so the real folder is a long way off yet. But it would be nice to have.
