CD rack or shelf?

[Flaming Death]

Hey, I was wondering what everyone who uses to store their CDs? I have a shelf but It is out of room. I have 400+ CDs and just want to know what would be the best thing to keep them on.

Thanks

I use a bookcase. That way, they're easier to organize and safer from damage... my cat kept attacking my CD racks and knocking 'em down. =\

I took LaserLine 60 count plastic cd racks (3 rows, 20 in each) And put them in my bookshelf. they fit perfectly in height. There is a lil extra room on each side so I use that room for metal DVD's, vinyls, and all my digi-packs (which i keep in resealable plastic sleeves). The bottom shelf is for box sets. Works well, but im running out of room...

yeah, I just rearranged a little bit. I switched my DVD case and CD cases. I have room for 50 more cds or so now. I might put my music DVDs with my cds too.
I wish i had a nice place for my Vinyl but i only have like 20.

Just whatever you do, dont leave your CDs in a flimsy CD rack by an open window on the top storey of a building on a windy day.

Yes, I did this. I regretted it.

Now my CDs are all kept in a posh wooden case in the corner of my room. It even has a light on it.

I have a 1500 CD storage shelf. I like it. I used to have a pile of those Laserline things but they looked shitty against he wall and they were a botch to reorganize.

IKEA sells a 900 cd shelf, it's called Drömme. I use that one.

I use a bookcase. So far its working very good.

I've just had a quick look on the IKEA website, is this the one you are talking about?

Just out of interest, what makes that any different to any other cabinet/shelves? Is it basically just a normal cabinet that could realistically be used to put whatever you want in it?

Right now I have a rack, I need to get a shelf sometime.

A shelf, which I have almost run out of room on. Need to start thinking about that...

The best way to display vinyls is on the wall! I only have a like 10 vinyls(mostly picture LPs), some are signed, the rest will be soon. After that im gonna get some custom frames made and hang them on the wall.

I use a cd binder. It only holds like 200, but I only own about 150 at the moment, so I'm still in good condition.

I just use a bookshelf because I have so many to store

my digi-packs (which i keep in resealable plastic sleeves)

little obsessive are we?

 

[5thSeason]

haha. I just like keep them in good condition. digi's tend to get yellowed and beat up pretty bad. I started keepin them in these sleeves and they really make a difference.

now that i think about it, it does sound like a pretty good idea...what kind of resealable sleeves are you talking about? like zip-loc bags?

 

[5thSeason]

nah they arent zip-locs. my friend owns a record store and he puts them on all CDs he sells that arent factory sealed. He gave me a ton of them for my digi's. Ill take a pic of one later and send u a private message with a link, so u can see what im talking about.

 

[Chasm]

i think i know what you're talking about...the same store i go to has them too...i doubt they would give them to me for free though...do you happen to know anywhere on the web the might sell them? i only have about 2 sitting around from past CDs
