Storage of Cds and DVds

The trouble is that they changed the Cd cases from regular jewel box to thin and the DVDs from tall, to several in one set, so those slotty DVd and CDs no longer work. I got the plastic mesh with the triangle design on top, because they were cheap, but would rather have a regular storage unit.

Glad you brought that up. i hadn't thought about that. My CD's are in those decorative photo boxes and that works just great. But my DVD's are the problem and I forgot that they are in the taller boxes so my measurments I had in mind wouldn't have accepted them! I am so glad you mentioned that before I go next week to look for something! I'd a bought for CD's!!

I guess they have not invented a size for the Blu-Ray and Hi-def dvds yet as there are not that many of them. Keeping them in the cases is all right, but what happens when they start making Tv shows on them, like Season One of Whatever? Then they need a box to accommodate that.

I have my dvds and cds in those plastic mesh cases. My husband says they are not that good,(the case, not the dvds and cds), but with the regular dvd and cd storage units being unable to accommodate those Tv Dvd boxes and those Cd sets, we have to have them. I would rather they be on a special unit, as I am forever rearranging them.

That is weird, but we have a wardrobe down in the basement and I put our books down there plus our portable stereo Cd player. We have Vhs in our dining room cabinet in the shelf below where I keep the best china, and we keep our cds and vds in those mesh crate boxes because we want to see what to watch and besides there is nothing there that one does not need to hide/

That is a real good idea. I wish that someone would build bookcases for me, but my brother-in-law is way out in Prince Edward Island and the friend's son who could do that is also not living in the city anymore. I doubt that my husband could do it. But I do have those mesh plastic crates and they work great. I just bought some new ones recently so I do not have to worry about the cds and dvds piled on the floor or leaning against the lamp table.

We used to just watch the movies on tv and wait for the reruns, but it seemed that every time a certain movie came out, I wanted to watch it, and it was the same with my husband. Most of the time it was for Christmas, and Birthday presents, but now it is Fathers Day and Anniveraries. Now there is that Blu-Ray winning and we have a hd player. Oh guess what? We had Beta.

need to carry you a list of what ya have! that would stop you buying dups.

I bought the plastic crates for my dvds and cds. We have a lot of sets, and for some reason, we want them close to the Tv and the cd player, but that is attached to the Tv so I guess the cds are for the car and I have many converted to play on my hard drive. I want to be able to get and see what I got, because I am the type of person who will buy a new Dvd or Cd even if we got it already because I do not know if I already bought it.

We got those Cds special boxes so the slots do not fit them. And we gradually collected Dvds, a couple every Christmas as gifts, and for birthday presents. It sort of adds up. I got those plastic mesh boxes that snap together. I find it easier since you do not have to worry about separating those Tv Dvd sets and putting them in separate Dvd boxes that you have to buy. And I can see what we got.

Great. The important thing is that you can find the cd or dvd that you are looking for.

We have a bookcase, but it has so many books there is no room for Cds and Dvds. We have a case underneath our small table for the Vhs and we have the other vhs in the dining room cabinet. I also bought some of those plastic mesh put together boxes that makes it easier for us to keep our Tv Dvd collections and our Cd collections easier.

That is why I find those plastic crates so much easier. I can store Dvds, and those Tv Dvd sets in the Dvd sized ones and I can store the Cd special sets in the Cd sets. I wish there were cabinets that allowed this, because in the case of special Cd collecions and the DVd collections, you have to put each separate cd in the large jewel boxes and the Dvds you have to put in the separate Dvd boxes to fit.

If we had a wide screen monitor, I would watch the movies on the computer, but since I am writing on myLot, I have my dvds and cds on those grated plastic cases so we can see what we want to watch. It makes it easier.

That makes a lot of sense suspenseful! I guess when you see all the cds dvds and games for xbox and wii we have stacked away and the size of our house you would understand why we don't keep them out! lol xx

Sure nice to have a man who can do that.

I have those mesh plastic boxes for both my Dvds and my cds, because they are big enough for the DVd Tv sets. For the regular boxes or slots you have to put the Dvd in a regular Dvd case because with the part of the box on top and the bottom, it does not fit. I also have a place under the china cabinet for my Vhs and I am gradually replacing them with the DVds. The trouble with the mesh cases is you have to snap them very tight to make them stay.

My husband told me that those plastic pockets that you store cds in is not that good, that it is better to put them in a jewel case, but we use the thin ones so we can get more in them. I keep the Dvds in the original cases after taking off the outer box. But the tv dvds I keep in the same boxes and everything goes on those plastic mesh cases you can get at Staples. We usually decide to buy a dvd when one or more of us is always watching the show on tv when it comes on. If it does not come on, we will rent the dvd and if it is any good, I will consider maybe buying it, but mostly I do not because many of the new ones are not worth keeping. We eventually get around to watching the movies,when there is nothing else on and one time when I had a bad cold or the flu, I was watching the whole first and second season of Stargate.

I keep mine in the jewel cases, because they are safer and it is easier for me to see what they are and they stack besides each other so nicely. I will have to get another case soon, as I will be ordering some more DVDS.

i have heard the slip cases arent really good for them as well But I find I'm more likely to use the movies/cds etc from the case than i am to flip through jewel cases. I got rid of most of my jewel cases because they took up too much space in my house.

I heard those plastic cases that you put the dvds and cds in are not that good. If you keep the dvds and cds in their original jewel cases, then that works, but you will not be able to store that many , but at least they will not scratch. I find that putting them in boxes or crates works very well.

I have a place for my computer cds, but it is hard to get with it because we have the router and the internet box in front of that. I got some of those plastic mesh boxes for the cds and the dvds. I find that is easier because then we can watch the movies or the tv shows on dvds when we have free time and that is not that often. I have to remind my husband that he does not have to watch the show with the commercials on tv when we already have the dvd. I really should make a list and put it right with them.

I do not like those plastic inserts because they are not as good as the jewel cases or the cases that the Dvds came in. I also like mine where I can see them. It makes it easier for someone like me who if I do not know if I got one, will buy it again. You would not guess that we got a vhs of Apollo 13 and because I could not find it, I bought a new one. At least we do not have a dvd of it yet. At lest, I don't think so.

I like those plastic crate kinds, but my husband told me they do not make them correctly because you have to press hard to put them together. Now I have enough for all my dvds, and cds. That means I have to order those four tv dvds I wanted to get and start all over again, not to mention get rid of my vhs and get the dvd versions of them.

We used to use those plastic storage cases, the ones with the envelopes and that worked all right until my husband told it was better to put them in those thin jewel cases. I have those plastic crates in the living room but guess that would not work with you being in a small house and all that.

We have those Tv Dvd sets, the ones where there are two dvds overlapping each other, and two on the side, so I got those plastic grated boxes and that way we can keep them in the sets. They have not invented ones for the hd or blueray sizes yet that are too big for the Cds and too small for toe Dvd cases. At least the HD and the Blueray are the same size. We have not go any blueray, because we would have to get a blueray player
