A method of organizing a selection of identifiable entertainment recordings comprising:

• selecting a binder including a plurality of sheets, formed with respective viewing pockets having transparent front windows:
• referring to a pre-established list of titles of recordings including said selection of recordings to select the titles of said selection of recordings therefrom to establish a selected list of titles corresponding with said selection;
• selecting index identifiers for each of the said recordings and placing them next to a respective title;
• selecting position identifiers corresponding with the respective index identifiers and placing said position identifiers adjacent the respective said pockets whereby visual displays corresponding with the respective recordings may be placed in the respective said pockets associated with the respective said titles and selection may be made of a recording by referring to the said associated index identifier and turning to the pocket bearing the corresponding position indicator adjacent thereto for viewing through the associated window of the graphic corresponding with the corresponding recording.

An organizational display apparatus for use in conjunction with an online database structured to store a listing of compact disc titles along with a positional identifier for large numbers of compact discs having an associated liner comprising:

• a table of contents generated from a subset of said database listing and inserted into at least one of said pockets correlating said compact disc titles with individual ones of said pocket indicia;
• and
• a plurality of post members inserted through said perforated hinge section to releasably secure said pages to said binder in an overlapping arrangement whereby a user may refer to said table of contents listing to locate a selected compact disc title, note said positional identifier, and flip said pages to said pocket having matching indicia to view said compact disc related material inserted therein.

A display apparatus for displaying and organizing large numbers of compact discs and their respective liner notes for use in conjunction with a compact disc changer having a plurality of slots with associated identifiers comprising:

• an elongated spine member having an upper flange folded to form an upper retention recess and a lower flange folded to form a lower retention recess, said flanges being located at opposing longitudinal margins of said spine;
• a first cover member including an innermost end having a first flexible hook for insertion into said upper retention recess, said first cover member including a plurality of display sleeves openable at one end and having an outwardly facing transparent viewing surface;
• a second cover member including an innermost end having a second flexible hook for insertion into said lower retention recess;
• said hooks cooperating with said flanges to pivotally attach said cover members to said spine;
• a plurality of flexible loose leaf pages having a well section positioned between a display section and a perforated hinge section, said display section having at least one side formed with at least one pocket having a non-woven backing and an opposing transparent viewing window for viewing of said pocket contents inserted therein, each of said pockets having an indicia for correlating the respective said pocket contents with the respective said identifiers corresponding with the respective compact disc locations in said CD changer;
• and
• a plurality of detachable post members projecting between said upper flange and said lower flange for securing said first and second cover members to said spine and further passing through said perforated hinge section of each of said pages to releasably secure said pages to said spine and whereby said posts may be disconnected and said perforated hinge section of said looseleaf pages may be inserted thereover and said posts reconnected to secure said page to said spine member between said first and second cover members and said pocket contents may be inserted into a pocket correlating to the numbered slot in said carousel changer where said compact disc is stored.

A display apparatus for organizing a large amount of collectible materials for use with a database structured to store a listing of collectible material descriptors describing said collectible materials along with respective corresponding positional identifiers, said display apparatus comprising:

• a binder having a spine supporting along a longitudinal margin opposing hingedly attached cover members;
• a plurality of display pages suspended from said spine, each of said pages including a display section having at least one transparent viewing panel open along one edge forming a pocket for insertion of respective said materials, the respective said pockets including indicia correlating the respective said pockets to the respective said positional identifiers listed in said database associated with the respective materials to be inserted in said pockets;
• a table of contents generated from said database listing and inserted into at least one of said pockets correlating said material descriptors with individual ones of said pocket indicia;
• and
• an anchoring element to releasably secure said pages to said binder in an overlapping arrangement whereby a user may refer to said table of contents listing to locate a selected material descriptor, note said positional identifier, and flip said pages to said pocket having matching indicia to view said materials inserted therein.

A method for organizing a substantial number of collectible materials comprising:

• providing a display album including a selected number of looseleaf pages having respective storage sleeves forming pockets with an opening along one side and having a viewing window, said pockets including respective indicia;
• selecting a plurality of said collectible materials to be organized in said album;
• placing selected said collectible materials in respective said pockets such that said collectible materials may be viewed through respective said viewing windows;
• generating a table of contents including a listing of material descriptors describing respective said collectible materials and assigning a selected positional identifier to respective said material descriptors corresponding to said respective indicia of respective said pockets wherein respective said collectible materials are placed;
• and
• attaching said table of contents to said display album so that a user may determine the location of collectible materials in said pockets by referring to said positional identifier associated with a selected collectible material descriptor in said table of contents and flip to a page having a pocket with indicia matching said referred to positional identifier.
