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 have custom built-in cabinetry with pull-out drawers for the CDs; the cabinetry is elegant and the CDs are hidden. However, I went on a buying spree when I upgraded my entire system and ran out of space in the drawers. I am slowly replacing the plastic jewel boxes with a product called Jewelsleeve - each is approximately 1/4 the thickness of a standard plastic jewel box.
Has anyone found a good solution?

I use four Sony CD megachangers and feed the optical to a DSP. All controlled from the listening position. I've used this setup for a number of years but I'd recommend you rip them and go straight a PC - DAC solution - as that is what I would do if I was starting out...
CD magazines. I bought a couple 300 cd holders (size of a briefcase). Completely out of the way, organized and portable since I listen in multiple rooms-just grab the jazz collection and go.
Get 4 Sony megachangers (they're cheap). If you don't want to use them for playing CDs, you don't have to. You can just use them for storage and retrieval, with an alphabetical listing on paper cross referencing to the changer and slot number.
