The procurement of CD storage shelves, racks and towers was the first task for me. After several visits to the British Heart Foundation I managed to aquire 14 towers (though one is a third height) a CD compartmentalised case and a small chest of two drawers that are deep enough to house CDs.

At the moment all of the rock and pop have been filed and housed, as has the jazz and blues and R&B. The 'world', spoken word, test discs and various "odds and sods" have also been housed. I'm partway through housing the classical section of my collection; having got as far as 'L'. It's a slow process as Classical requires many divisions and subdivisions. Also I have many versions of the same piece by different ensembles and performers, that need sifting as I don't need them all.

So to date, I have two shelves of CDs and one set of drawers full of CDs in the living room; 8 CD towers in a cupboard in the same room, and three racks of LPs (all genres apart from classical and folk). On the landing there are three towers and two compartment cases for CDs. The Jazz, Blues and R&B are housed in the TV room, as are the Classical LPs and Folk LPs. The storage completion of the remaining L - Z of Classical CDs is still ongoing.

At least my partner has stopped complaining about piles of CDs I used to have littering up the living room!
