Have you ever tried making a pile out of CDs in those nasty little plastic wallets? Everything starts out all hunky dory, then it all starts to get a bit unstable and the whole lot comes crashing to the floor. It's bad enough trying to remove the nth CD from a stack of say 50 without playing an impromptu game of 50 CD pick-up, doing that with CDs in nasty little plastic wallets is a recipe for disaster before you even start. This is before you consider how you ever manage to find anything at all if you can't read the name on the spine because CDs in slipcases don't have spines. No, CDs in nasty little plastic wallets would require a whole new storage solution that would involve some method of intelligent retrieval system, something like the selector in a pre-1970s Wurlitzer juke-box, but with some form of mainframe processing power, probably water-cooled and over-clocked and roughly the size of a family hatch-back, but without the seats. For 29,000 CDs in nasty little plastic wallets that mechanism alone would occupy an area that is beyond the spacial visualisation capabilities of my meager brain to envisage.
