I just didn't want a ton of jewel boxes cluttering up my place. I went to Case Logic CD Prosleeves. They work great for SVCD's that usually take two disks as they are two sided. I have a pushbutton box that stores the bare cd's and I never liked it. It pops out the cd you want when you get the selector in precisely the right spot. I now use the sleeves (plastic on the front and soft paper for the data side.) I can put them in a cd basket from staples and store about 100 disks in a 10 in long basket. If I ever get around to alphabetizing it, it will be perfect. Another idea is a 3 ring binder sleeve. The main thing is to keep your disks clean and easily available. Everybody probably has a different need and a different system.

I store them in a 400 cd-changer from Sony CDP-CX455. It can also read MP3, so you can store about 4000 albums. No problems with cases, boxes etc.

Actualy I like the cakeboxe style. The same that a spindle pack comes in. Wish they would make them square!

Eache is number. The pack has a number. And both numbers are feed into a database with what video are on each disk. There is a program I cooked up that reads the filenames. It gets the number off of the Volumn label of the disk and I add whick cakebox # at that time.

See the storage of the physical is one thing but the abbility to get what you want is another bigger aspect of storage. Be like a library but no way to quickly locate a book.

I use discgear, at www.discgear.com, but I think the most one of them will hold is 100 discs.

I have 5 80 disc holders, and they really don't take up any room at all.

Also there is someone on ebay that sells the 80's for like $19.95, which is $20 cheaper then direct from the manufacturer.

I think Tigerdirect has something that might hold 300discs, but it plugs into your computer to program your library.

Hope this helps

I use these sleeves and store them in a cd crate

Makes things real simple.

how many cd's you can store on a cd crate like the one that you gave as example.. if it stores 40cd's with cases how many cd's without cases fits there? and how do you know which cd has what? you have numbers on the sleeves?

I use a 288 cd case I got from computer geeks for about $15, also use other cases of various sizes that fit what I have.

Just browsing at a office supply store can give you lots of choices, If you get ring binder CD sleeves, and then get a mongo large (like 5") 3 ring binder that can probably meet your needs...

5" Binders...

5pk CD Binder Sheets (2 per sheet)

You can even get bigger than 5" binders is you search a little and there are different types binder sheets, so you can literally make what you want custom. Obviously it could add up in price???

Doing a quick calculation I would guess you could get 200 sleeves in there if not a few more.

I just put avery lables on my cds like return address size with the program name on it. I guess that you could put a number on the sleeve and record that in a spreadsheet and put what you have on that one in the sheet.
