[Macca]

I can tell by the door on the front, besides it says so on your signature

Not a UK spec one i see

It has a 'UK Special Edition' badge

Not the best photo I know but you can just see it bottom left

Tis a UK spec ..Isnt it funny how they look so shit on photos but not in the flesh!! I absolutly love the smootness of the drawer open & shutting on em..I've not had a single ounce of trouble with it..

Yes 'tis a joy to use and look at. But we are drifting Alex's thread a bit much I think, soz Alex.

[Rare Bird]

Yes we are Can i just ask why your puck is not in the machine?

So Alex what have you done with all those Jewel case inlays?

Storage?
Surely there's only one way - on shelves in alphabetical order by artist, each artist's recordings in chronological sequence...............






Alex' solution seems a sensible one though

o yes

.......except since moving things about in this room, the chronological thing has gone pretty much to the wall with the CD's. ...........gotta find time, gotta find time

My CDs are in the garage spanning in five big plastic (hermetically closed) boxes, in alphabetical artist order.

My collection is in there :

and 3 external eSata drives

4TB of total storage (1TB used for backup and disaster recovery).

That's how I would love to do it, and probably could now in this house, but too much hassle really to go back (not to mention having to but probably 2,500 odd jewel cases...) By my back of a fag packet calculations, approx 70 CDs on each of your shelves, 11 full, roughly the bottom 2 make one, so let's say 12 x 70 = 840, so realistically I would need 4 of those shelf units, to allow for some growth.

Is that all of your CDs Chris, or do you have others lurking? The big problem I have with any system is when you have to shuffle everything around to add new ones... That really grinds my gears (especially for Hamish and Macca! )
