IMHO, the best place to store that many CDs is in a music server and keep the physical discs in sealed boxes in basement.
cd storage
Looking for suggestions for storing cds. Currently use the horizontal standalone units but these tend to be a less than optimal solution - basically you have to slide out each cd or flip through at an inconvenient angle to see what it is. Does anyone have a different method of storage or any helpful suggestions? I would like to find a drawer unit (kind of like the old card catalogs that libraries had but with larger area drawers -or something similar. It should have a high capacity as possible - need to store somewhere between 1500 and 2000 so the fewer units the better.
