ive had this problem ever since i can remember - i buy some kind of case or something and all is well and good - then all of a sudden i need more its a vicious cycle i tell you.. do you every sell/disgard stuff to make room? or do you just keep cramming more and more cds/vinyls/cassettes/whatever in? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the pile is getting bigger and bigger. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
for me, its my cds that take up the most room, i have about 300 of them and the case i have only holds about 250 - so i find myself either selling or storing (read: locked away in a bin never to be seen again) to make room |
||||||||
|
|

|
on the bookshelf stacks and stacks of cd, by mostly aphabetical order, idm first lps and 12" in an old wooden box 7" in a little carboard box tapes, used to be in a big cardboard box, now they are sold and in a small plastic container yes i have sold many millions of cds/tapes/records and dont regret much of it |

what happens when you it gets just too big? what do you think you will do? |

Haven´t sold anything yet, though I really should cause I got some doubles... I have ripped all my old cds and stuffed them away in the basement, I never play them anyway (nor the mp3´s :/ ). To make more room in my data archives I´m also moving stuff from CDR to DVD-R - makes a lot of difference! |

my vertical racks can't hold more CDs for 6 months now, so i put the CDs i like in them whereas i put the CDs i don't listen to anymore on a pile on a cupboard |
||||||||
|

|
|
havent sold anything really? not even just given it away or disgarded anything? you have kept everything? |
||||||||
|
|

|
|

i once gave two copies of autechre peel session 2 cuz i had it on three copies (thx warp) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i guess i am trying to come up with a system where i can always keep about 300 cd's or so around and not have to constantly sift through them |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's insane |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

sometimes i buy a Cd in a store cause i forgot having already ordered it on the internet... then i receive it and i say "oh what a fool !" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i see lots of 80's hair bands in there :) but if those are theones youdont listen to, who cares what order *cough cough* packrat |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, it's kinda good system really..if im looking for a particular album i must browse through the whole pile and i sometimes find stuff i didn't even know i had, so that's splendid. combo, you could maybe send it back and exchange it for something else when that happens.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i keep the 80's hairy bands in my mp3 folder actually :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ahh, i see - keep the non used ones in order - maybe i need to just sift my own darn collection and separate into two factions...tahnks |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i actually havent listened to cd's lately..they are all piled up in a closed to..i only put new ones in it...i hate bying cd's..what a waste. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, i'll do it by order one day..i started working on a list a year ago..got to 740 and left it at that..i mixed them all again so i'll have to start all over again, but next time im going to do it properly! |
||||||||
|
|

nah, never - but nowadays I almost never play any of my 650 cds. The music I play are in my iTunes library - a mix of my own tracks, digitalized 12"´s, beatport/bleep/uploud-purchases and other interesting internet findings... ;) |

I have always bought a great deal of CDs; I have several plastic carousels or towers, and I organise the discs, which is--yes--weird but kind of adorable. I alphabetise them by artist's name, then release order. That's just the way I catalogue them mentally, so it was natural for me to externalise it. I memorise most of the details about the releases, too, so I don't need to group them by label or genre or whatever; I pretty much know each record like a friend or at least an acquaintance. |

I originally bought two black conti board CDs shelves from MFI many years ago which held most of my CDs at that time. (see small tall black shelf, top, holds appx 280 albums) As my collection grew I wanted more of the same shelves but by then MFI stopped doing them so I had to improvise. I bought a load of conti board planks, took one of the bought units, then removed the shelves and added the new planks to replace them. And put in bits of the old shelves to work as supports. (see large wide black shelf, top, holds appx 2000 albums) The collection grew some more and I had to get some more shelves. This time I just made my own out of new conti board planks. (see bottom pic, holds appx 650 albums) A couple of months ago I decided I needed more again. However making my own was out of the question due to arthritis so this time I bought 3 prefab ones from Argos. (see beige sheves, top, holds appx 500 albums total) |

i use a cd shelf sort of like the one xceque has (nowhere near as big, though). those are the best for organized types like me because you can easily move them around and keep them properly in order. so i have this shelf thing almost full (i added an additional shelf on top of it with some extra wood), i moved my compilations to a separate shelf in my closet, i put the ones i don't listen to in a box with a lot of other miscellaneous cd's and cd-rs... i recently sold off about fifty awful cds that i really didn't want. i keep my best LP's in a crate (the bulk of my collection is in storage somewhere, though) and my 7"s in a little cardboard box. |

every surface in my room has cds on it. its fun to organize them once in a while and see how they become messy again. |

||||||||
|

In the hard disk too. Even if I format, I know it's still avaiable on Soulseek or Emule, whatever, for eternity. I never buy cds. I don't want to give sesterces for SACEM anymore. |

They're alphabetised! If they weren't I never would. |

my hats off to you man, my wife would never go for that though, i showed her your storage system, and all she said was "no...fucking...way!" she likes everything to be unseen or hidden. so all of my shit is in drawers and stuff. |

I keep my gramophone records in an ikea shelf (need bigger one) and compact digital discs in a bookshelf that came with the flat. random records lie on a different shelf and/or beside my turntables |

your curtains are awful. |

I just throw them onto my dresser via a network of both horizontal and vertical storage racks, and the less good stuff on another shelf. I keep all the cases and artwork and I'm careful to not leave anything lying around. But they're very dusty, I just rip CDs, eventually burn the rip to a data disc, and barely touch the actual CD again unless I'm going somewhere. Here's a pic of them a year and a half ago- |
