Let's talk about my CD collection.
I'm crashing with my folks while I get my finances in order and look for a new place. It'll be a while. My HT stuff and CD collection (about 1500 discs) is in storage.
Before I packed it away, I had two huge, unwieldy racks of CDs, which still wasn't enough for all of it. When I finally do get a place, it will be a nice one and I will want it to look nice and neat (as opposed the post-college bachelor squalor I was used to) and don't want to occupy all that space with CD racks. And the the thought of moving all of those boxes, sorting them (yes, they have to be sorted), etc... ugh.
Plus, I do miss them. I have my collection ripped on MP3, but it's not the same.
So here's what I'm doing: I'm buying a bunch of these
CD Binders with 30 pages each. I'm starting with 5 for now and will bring home half of my collection. Excluding box sets, digipacks, and any non-standard packaged CD, I'll toss out the jewel case and slip the liners and CDs into these books, using two slots per CD.
I'm hoping all this will serve to simplify the collection and make it more manageable, both immediately and in the long run.
I was considering just getting individual slip sheets, but then I really can't sort them.
Anyone else does anything like this?
