Cd storage..what's an audiophile to do?

The rock stuff I sort by name of group, then by year put out. (I use the numbers from videocassette insert thingys) and put the 67 or 68 69... (Dylan) on the spines, so I keep track of there historical order. Classical I sort by composer, then solo, duet, trio, quartet etc, opera at the end (in each I sort by performers/conductors last name, so my zillion Beethoven piano sonatas are by performer.) I have no ear for Jazz, so no Jazz CDs.

Office Depot and some music stores have fake leather binders with plastic pocket pages which are used to hold CDs and CDRoms. There is a pocket that has enough room to hold the folders and the disc. You can throw out the jewel boxes( or keep them in the garage). The binders come in various sizes. I have some which each hold 100 CDs with the folders from the jewel boxes.

CAN-AM sells modular 2 and 3 drawer cabinets. Each drawer holds 270 CDs. Lots of other cabinets available. Highest quality products and first rate service. Check out www.cdcabinet.com

Check out www.elegance4less.com....they have several storage units at good prices, especially their barrister type shelving with glass doors, and they pay the shipping!

Agree about Boltz. Bought the CD 330 and just added the extesion to store 660 CD's. Nice contemporary quasi industrial look. Also, the *best* customer service I have ever experienced. My first purchase actually arrived the next day. Fully assembled. No charge for Fed-Ex. No sales tax (I'm in California, they're in California). Boltz actually picks up the sales tax. The extension had extra pieces of esch component that went into the assembly. First rate.

Now...what to do with the LP's. Getting ready to get a new turntable and unpack the boxes. Any ideas? As weird as it sounds, I wouldn't mind a set up like the record shops. Everything facing forward, easy to label, easy to see. Any suggestions?
