I use and prefer the Uline CD mailing boxes. http://www.uline.com/BL_1451/CD-Jewel-Case-Mailers-Corrugated They're sturdy enough to ship 25 or 50 CDs in, so plenty sturdy to store. And they're just corrugated cardboard, so I can write on them and label the contents (I give all ripped CDs a number in the comments field). I prefer the 25-CD boxes, and they're easily handled and are small enough to be very flexible on how you store them. Only downside is you have to buy them in bulk, but considering the size of most people's collection on this forum, that's likely not a problem, as you'll probably be using them! -- Bixby Bixby's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9411 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=50527 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Storing CDs after Ripping
i built a wood rack, ~8 foot tall. it consists of two sides and 3 round wood dowels per level. this allows the sides to be adjustable so i could slide them up or down the dowels so i could find and affix them to the studs in my wall. i think it looks great with all my cds on it.

Re: [slim] Storing CDs after Ripping
Lofts even in the UK can get surprisingly hot in the summer, which is why my servers live in the slightly damp garage rather than the drier loft. I did some tests a few summers ago, tracking the temperature over the summer and on some days it was over 45 degrees C in the loft. It wasn't an unusually hot summer, but as soon as the temperature reaches 25 degrees outside it can get crazy hot in the roof. The servers have coped fine in the garage for the last 5 years, though I do sometimes turn on the dehumidifier when there are days of heavy rain. -- andynormancx Yes, it will. Yes, all of them.

Re: [slim] Storing CDs after Ripping
I've taken all my CDs and DVDs out of their cases and put them into binders. The DVDs go in DVD sleeves that hold the inserts, and the CDs go in ones made for them as well. I have had to do some folding for some larger inserts/covers. Some special booklets I keep in the front or back of the binders. Nice collectible (yeah, right) cases I just toss out - they look nice, but don't provide any extra information usually. I keep the binders in cupboards and bookcases in my flat. - Tim -- tbessie tbessie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8521 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=50527 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Storing CDs after Ripping
Ive almost ripped all of my CDs and want to store all my CDs safely. What do people think of storing them in plastic boxes and putting them in the loft? My only reservation about this is the cold winters and hot summers (if we have them here in the UK) could damage them.

I wouldn't expect that the winter would hurt them much, does it get much below say -15 C? -- Pat Farrell http://www.pfarrell.com/ ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Storing CDs after Ripping
Well we have a sort of Summer ;-) It does not get below -15 in the winter here, and sadly I live in a flat so dont have a basement.

Re: [slim] Storing CDs after Ripping
Put them in plastic sleaves and discard the casings. Storage space required will decrease markedly and it may well become feasible to put your entire collection in a box inside a cupboard or something along those lines. -- egd Internet forums: conclusive proof depth of gene pool is indeed variable, monkeys can be taught to cut code, and world peace is utterly unrealistic...

My CDs are in a loft in the UK. Damp is your enemy. Have you stored things in this loft before to know whether it gets damp? If the plastic box is airtight and watertight it should be ok. Throw in some desiccant (silica gel) to make sure it stays dry. If your plastic box isnt airtight then there is a risk it might stay damp, and a sturdy cardboard box might be a better bet. ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
