I did something similar. I purchased 7 Case-Logic 320 disc holders, and placed the CD and its cover art into two slots. This holds 160 CDs / case, and is not a weight problem. I've numbered every other slot on a page with laser-printed labels, and I use J. River's Media Center to catalog and reference each CD (as well as ripped tracks). Artwork is of course available via slimserver's web, any media player, and of course the cases themselves. New CDs go to the next empty slot, and I just add the CD and my reference ID into Media Center. I love this system, and wish I would have thought of doing it years ago. I hated all those jewel cases and the dusty racks required to hold them. If anyone wants hundreds of jewel cases... -- MrC ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MrC's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=468 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=23124 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
