More CD Storage Basics

When you own thousands of CD’s you can lots of musical memories, but the problem comes in trying store all these CD’s in a way that is space saving, but still easily able to access.  There are several great CD storage options for the collector online, and the best deals are also usually found through websites that offer different kinds of storage.  With more and more stores getting rid of their entire music collections due to the popularity of downloadable music, finding a good selection of quality CD racks, cabinets and drawers that fit your needs may be impossible.  You may also see that many of the different furniture options on our site and keep multiple types of media including DVD-CD storage as well.

CD Storage Cabinets

For music collectors that want to prominently display their entire CD library one of the many CD storage cabinets that are available online today may be the way to go.  Many of these cabinets are small enough to fit nicely into a living room or hallway, while still offering a great view of a CD collection.  Many CD cabinets will have doors made of glass which allows great views into the cabinet, without having to open it each time.  The glass doors also act as a barrier between you collection and the little adorable hands of kids in your home.  Having this kind of separation also helps when you are teaching your kids what is OK to touch, and what isn’t.  One final benefit of a CD storage cabinet is the ability many models have for you to self-adjust the shelf sizes.  If your CD collection is smaller than what the cabinet holds you can often use part of it to store DVD movies, vinyl albums or even books and pictures.

CD Storage Walls

One of the more interesting options for music collectors is the idea of an entire CD storage wall in a room dedicated to keeping and displaying music.  Many larger homes will include this kind of option in a den or office, and the limit of CD’s the wall can hold is completely up to the owner of the home.  There are even some collectors who will use all four walls of a room for CD storage and install a very upper end stereo to listen to music in that particular room.  In this way the room is almost like a wine cellar with a small table to sample different bottles.  Now if you don’t have the money or room to dedicate to this kind of storage option, there are still plenty of CD storage wall-mounted shelves and racks you can easily purchase and install.  In fact, many of the “CD walls” installed in larger homes are actually just a series of racks that were purchased online and set-up next to each other.

CD Storage Cases

Finally we come to the many different cases there are available to easily store, access and even transport compact discs.  Many wedding and event DJ’s are required to bring their own music collection to different gatherings and use high-quality CD storage cases for this reason.  Especially if you plan on moving your collection often, you don’t want to get a standard consumer level quality case as it will probably break very quickly.  Again, the best place to find tough, professional style CD storage cases is browsing this web site and others to see what may work for you.  We have often found very durable cases that easily store and transport up to 300 CD’s and are the size of a large office binder.  Now clearly these cases do not have room for all the jewel cases those selections came with, but if you just need the CD, this is a way to go.
