Well yeah, what's this for?

Haha! Someone took the bait. I'm reorganizing the music collection on my hard drive. I'm replacing the 28 specific genres it's sorted into right now with seven or eight much broader categories to make things easier on myself. These categories are stored in directories which are named by number rather than by name, to distinguish it from the old system.
The "guitar" category is for rock, jazz, blues, and the odd folk/western/whatever. Not a very big part of my collection but important enough for its own number designation. The others so far are 2600, 303, 909, 669, and 6581 (if anyone knows what all those refer to without assistance from a search engine, I owe you a beer.)
I still need to think up a catch-all for weird or miscellaneous stuff that can't go elsewhere. I might add another category for orchestra stuff if I have enough of it but I don't think I do.
I warned you it was pedantic!
Is 2600 for electronica?

Synths or drum machines? (thinking 808)
303...British?

anything you'd listen to while reprogramming a telephone switch.

Um. Gretsch 6120. Doesn't get much more iconic than that. Only thing that's even close is the Gibson 335, and technically 335 is a partial name.
I'm going to guess 909 is Beatles.
And for orchestral, I would go with 433, but that's just me.
