How Do You Organize Your Digital Collection Of Music?

Since the start of 2010, I vowed I would follow the music industry and collect all of my favorite releases. In earlier years, I would just read the best of year lists many would write and just check out those releases and if I liked them I'd buy them or go see a concert or two. However, I'm at the end of the year and I've got a large collection, many albums I've not even listened to. On the other hand I have albums that are OBVIOUS classics and then my worst nightmare are the albums that only have one good song...ugh and then like 7-18 other songs. What the hell do I do with THOSE albums? List is examples
1More than Life
Love Let Me Go


This album qualifies as a classic, tons of great songs, know wtf they're doing and are very emotional about their music and it shows.
There's a certain characteristic this album has that puts it leaps and bounds ahead of other albums.
2The Republic of Wolves
Varuna


An album that has one or two good songs but are long and require further listening but ARE GOOD. These I usually put on my mp3 player and listen while driving/sleeping/working out.
3Enslaved
Axioma Ethica Odini


This is an album that has a ton of songs on it that on the surface all put me off (not catchy, no memorable parts). When I find a part that clicks, I listen to the entire album and more of it opens up and I begin to like it. This is an album that I qualify as a "GROWER" (I've never listened to Enslaved before so that may be why). These kinds of albums require multiple listens but once you get them, the door to the entire artist's discography/genre is opened up. :)
4Wild Nothing
Gemini


I hate these kinds of albums. It has one good song, the rest suck and the album is general as a whole not very cohesive.
Do I just keep the one good song or send the entire album to the recycle bin?
5Immolation
Majesty and Decay


Then you have THESE albums, everyone says they're good but no matter how many times I listen, they do not stick with me even though I may like the genre and I may check the artist's previous works. Believe me I did, I checked out Immolation's best release (Close to a World Below). Many say their discography is sooo good that their works all seem mediocre because no one work stands out, that's how good they are...but alas they didn't click with me :(
