anyone have any cool magic bullet ideas for storing all these things?

of course i have those big wallet things, one by a brand that i really liked ("conductor series" - hole-punched removable pages, lay-flat angled binder) that i of course could never find again.

are these things as good as it gets or what?

also i try to print out a little bit of paper w the tracklist + label/year/etc to stick in ther with it if i get into an obsessive mood

i put mine in jewel cases. i used to put them in a wallet but i found i never get around to listening to them if they're not stored with the other 'real' cds.

As mentioned on Hurting's mp3 storage thread, the best solution is probably to burn everything to DVD instead of CDR, cutting your storage requirements by a factor of ten.

can you still play them on a normal cd player if you do that? (spot the luddite)

i know what you mean, i don't like the seperation but i'd need a few hundred jewel cases at this point

xpost yeah well the problem is that i'm still hung up on the idea of the "album" so i burn all my full albums as such and get 'em off my hard drive, even tho the HD is probably the better place for them anyway

That's no help if you don't have a DVD burner (I don't have one), but it's still worth thinking about for the future.

Right now, I'm making do with bigass CD booklets. The rest of my CD's are in these ytpes of booklets too, so I don't have the same problem as gem.

xposts -- oh, I didn't realize you guys were playing the CD-R's on a standard player, rather than a computer.

haha well the joke of it is that i just chucked my skippy old cd stereo and now just hook up my speakers to my laptop anyway! but i still like having the cds-as-cds, dunno why.

guess i'll just have to hunt for that brand of wallet again.

i pile mine on top of every available surface along with all the other cd's

hey jess where the f can i get the tracklist for lord of the decks 3, one of the fine releases i'm trying to organize here.

― geoff (gcannon), Monday, 24 October 2005 00:23 (twenty years ago)

never heard it! maybe rhythm or independance still has it for sale and has a tracklist.

nah there's nothing in either spot. i found an unlabeled .wmv version somewhere on slsk months ago and converted it. i'm so out of it on this stuff i just figured it was everywhere.

oh wierd ukrecordshop has a release date in june, but juno says it comes out tomorrow!

I burn most albums as "standard cd" and store on the CDR spindles, it will probably lessen their lifespan being stacked like that but whatever. I mostly listen in the car(with no mp3 playage) so it wouldn't pay to store as mp3, although I might need to as an emergency soon. 700 MB left on the home unit!

People sell those 150 and 300 pocket portfolios on the street for half the regular price, so it's only around $25.

When they said the apocalpyse was coming, they didn't mention it would be caused by our heads exploding with too much music.
