For me, organizing music *is* cataloging it. Organizing consists of making sure it's all tagged correctly, and named %artist%/%album%/%tracknum% - %trackname%.%format%. Not really comparable to books.

There are certain physical items which might merit cataloging. For instance, I have a whole bunch of spare electronics parts. Which parts? No idea. I'm sure there are some microcontrollers, some RLC things, probably a few TTL chips, some plugs of various sorts, perfboard, wires, and so forth. But if I wanted to do a project and was wondering what microcontrollers I had on hand, it'd take me a while to search through it all and verify what I have. I should either catalog it (which might just consist of putting lists on the lids of the boxes) or get rid of it all, because if I can't find things it's just clutter.

I agree on the books, though. Sort, but don't catalog, unless you have really ambitious plans for your personal library.
