It is ... possible. I think you would need an extreme environmental situation .. but I'll keep an eye out. I just finished cataloging all of my CDs as I put them in sleeves. Tedious, but I feel better.
Thanks for the demo, but with no spine label, these aren't practical for routine storage -- as CDs are stored and indexed by their spine -- just like LPs.
@@Darkuni Thanks for the reply -- and, yes, I do see that; nevertheless, my needs require a quick visual takeaway -- ala the spine-based approach used at radio stations. (The thought of thumbing through CD-after-CD is more akin to those folks who store their LPs and CDs using the retail "display case" method -- were the objective is to maximize the time a potential customer looks at an LP jacket.)
@@pacz8114 100%! This solution isn't for everyone - that's for sure. With this method? I'm much more willing to dig for a CD than use some nasty online source. If I kept mine on display all the time? And didn't have to haul a 50 pound storage crate (or 3) to get to the CDs? I probably wouldn't have rolled over. ;D
Oh I get it. I looked the other way on these things for a long time - and finally figured MAYBE ... just maybe ... I could deal with my CDs being stored like this (you ain't touching my DVD/Blu collection with sleeves ... no sir). This was a "tentative plunge" of the sleeve knife to see if I could deal with it. I did like 10 ... let it sink in a little .. then did the OG 70 in the Prime box ... and I was in. I used all my sleeves and ordered more. Appreciate the view and the comment!
@@Darkuni I might need to check these out maybe then cause my racks are looking like they need to get replaced (old video store racks from the 80s I got back when some local stores closed about fifteen years ago all bent now) so I either have to replace like 4 racks or maybe sleeve them lol I collect mostly 💿 cds, movies, and some disc based games like GameCube ps2 ps3 ps4 and some ps1
@@NinjaxWizardGoVroom I think what makes CDs work is my workflow. I buy a disc, rip it to FLAC, it goes on my Plex server and I consume from there. I rarely need to pull out a CD unless I'm (re-)ripping it or I need a little nostalgia warm fuzzy reading liner notes, etc. So I don't need to be "in them" all the time. Movies? Need Blockbuster style ready access to - so I cannot imagine sleeves working (for me) in this area. I was 100% considering doing my Playstation, Dreamcast and other games I've already ripped and have ready for emulation. Let me know what you decide!
I’ve done this for 1600+ CD’s and I have no regrets, it saves so much space and weight.
Wouldnt the direct contact between CD and printed paper be a bad idea for long term?

I like this and am definitely considering it, thx!
They are very slippery to stack. So far, that is my biggest complaint. Trying to inventory and stacking wo uld be ... helpful.

The spine label IS there. Just requires a TAD more effort to finger through them. I've learned to adapt :)

Not for me mate, I'll stick with my actual cases I love soooooo much.
I gotcha man ... I do ... It isn't for everyone ... how you feel is how I feel about movies - my flicks aren't getting shoved into baggies...
Nah I’ll stick with the original case. I like the look and feel of the case and weight. I’m weird though.
