Well my den is overflowing with piles of CDs and I need to get them put away. I've already filled up my ~1000 tower rack, probably need room for ~500 more at least. I've looked at the "disc socks" (or however you spell it) system, but that's too expensive and frankly I'm too lazy to remove booklets and art from all my jewel cases, not to mention the relatively large number of cardboard or other style cases that you can't just remove the art from. Plus I want the cases still because I take them in the car. So I want a more traditional rack of some sort.
I absolutely do not want it to have slots for individual cases, because it's too hard to insert in the middle or otherwise reorder them that way, and doesn't fit double/multiple-CD cases. I don't necessarily need to have them all out and facing the room - that is, I wouldn't mind having them in drawers or something. In fact, I looked at a dresser drawer at Ikea today that would've come close, but I was worried that the flimsy cardboard-ish drawer bottoms would not hold a whole drawer solidly filled with CDs, which gets pretty heavy. But I would not mind having something that looks like a dresser, or at least that general shape, because then, for example, I could put my bourbon collection or other music-related items on top.
So, any suggestions? I'm gonna be searching around, if I find anything interesting I'll also report back here.
