What do you do with all those CD's??

I need some help deciding how to store my CD's. I have about 1500. My stereo is in the living room, so I need something that looks good but is practical. I've tried binders but found them such a pain to add new CD's and keep everything in alphabetic order. What is everyone using out there? Has anyone found a good solution?

I really don't like looking at them at all, so I prefer drawers as they're easy to access. I recently discovered the storage drawers made by CanAm which are a bit pricy, but are heavy duty and hold alot of CD's efficiently and with a clean modern look.

Built to hold 2,000. I probably have 3,000 stuffed in mine... sets, and all:

I hate to rub it in, you guys, but here it goes: If you jump on the bandwagon and rip your cds to a hard drive you can do away with all that unpleasantness. It's quite liberating! Only vinyl deserves to be displayed.

Need CDs live in the same area as the system. I keep 1,400 in a custom built floor to ceiling cabinet in a spare bedroom and simply haul them out by the handful when needed.

I have a Billy Bags that holds 1000 cds. Looks good and makes it easy to see all discs. Good luck on your quest.
