yeah when a thief sees jewel cases he's like "shit! if these were more conveniently organized, I would boost them, but these cases are inconvenient as fuck. guess this house is unrobbable!"
No, it would just make them less likely to take them along with any guitars, laptops, or small appliances.

maybe, john d, you shouldn't take the box of empty cd cases outside and place it down on the curb right next to the hoodlums sitting there, let alone explain to them that now your cds are all in a single binder somewhere in your house and whaddya know, it's time for my next tour.

I'm not saying that because of the post, dipshit. I'm saying that because of the CD binder in general.

so i've heard
i have heard dozens of stories of people getting their binders stolen.
Also, I see dudes on the street of New York selling shit out stolen binders like every day.
― Mr. Que, Monday, 27 July 2009 19:11 (fourteen years ago) link
Serious question since I've never seen this: Do they reassemble them with jewel cases or do they sell just the CD (sometimes with booklet)? If the latter, how much does something like that go for?
It's so hard to find stuff in binders.
I don't understand this. I have hundreds of DVDs in binders and just like my CDs with jewel cases, they're all in alphabetical order. Very easy to find stuff.

ftr i still love cds too (because as i'm sure i've said i do a lot of music listening in the car and ipod hookups can blow me) but will go to vinyl + download before i go to anything else if cds die. i have a small (< 100) but thoughtfully selected lp collection.

John, you're so stupid sometimes I can't believe you can put chords together.

To go back to the thread idea, I fucking love CDs. I'm not stopping buying them any time soon.

"I was going to grab this vintage gibson, but it hardly weighs anything. those binders on the bookshelf, though...those've gotta be worth money. it's hard to hear with the alarm system going off so loud, but there could be a copy of the crop circle hoax cd in there...I have to risk it, my indie cred is at stake"

will you guys stfu about whether or not cds can be stolen?
― call all destroyer, Monday, 27 July 2009 19:13 (fourteen years ago) link
All those CD binders for sale on the street must have just grown from the ground! Or came from houses/cars where there was literally nothing more of value!

CD BINDERS: AMERICAS SILENT KILLER

I imagine it is if you make the effort to always put them back properly.

WONT ANYONE THINK OF THE CD BINDERS
what happens if you buy a new DVD, kebin? do you have to take them all out of the pockets and move them over?

chris hansen should do a dateline sting where he posts ads online looking for cd binders full of cds
― omar little, Monday, 27 July 2009 19:14 (fourteen years ago) link
seriously whiney if your scaredy dream of somebody robbing my house & my huge concern ends up being "oh no my cd collection which I have backed up in two different place" instead of "fuck, it sucks to get robbed & messes with your everyday feeling of safety" then I will rebuild the collection & give it to you
have you never been robbed? I have. I didn't give a shit about what they took, still don't. nobody who gets in here is going to give a shit about blank binders in a side room. they'll take the guitars, because I haven't put cannonballs in the soundholes the way you, I guess, would.

whiney can I recommend taping your jewelboxes to the floor, then covering them with dry grass. then they will be safe from robbers. I can set this up for you, I only charge for the at-cost price of the dry grass & the tape.

Yes which sux. But I have to do that with my CDs with jewel cases and my vinyl which sux equally. I really don't understand the difference here.
All those CD binders for sale on the street
