How do you keep your CD's?

My CD's are in jewel cases and highly organized.

In jewel cases and strewn about my apartment. Got Czukay's "Movies" and Mahavishnu Orchestra's IMF in my bedroom drawer, the Mac's "Rumours" and a collection of Bach's pieces right nearby, The Temptations, Bob Marley, Moz., Beet., and Bach in a cell of a "shelf" unit, and Andrea Bocelli in my CD case. What did I forget?

I have a rare medical condition which made me born with a third hand that was removed when I was a newly-born.
Yet, this hand was kept by the medics as my parents asked them.
A few years later, this hand was given back to my family in order to be bewitched. Then, my parents learned me how to use telekinetic powers so I could use this hand as it was my own "Thing", a bit à la Addams Family.

So, yes, my third hand is in the safe, armed with a gun. And it DOES know how to aim, thanks to my cosmic third eye.

I try to keep them organized in their jewel cases. I just took off of work one day to organize them after purchasing a new storage case and letting my new cd's go un-alphabetized and random for far too long. procrastinating will kill me one day!

In jewel cases haphazardly stacked.

I listen to iPod most of the time anyway.

Some of you brought up a damn good point.... Browsing. I too often end up with things in hand I had not intended to pick up. That and the idea that some things might not ever get noticed or listened to again has pretty much nixed my thoughts of a binder.
 My personal "System" is much Like yours Dean except I would never dream of organizing by colour... The way I find things (vinyl and CD) is by knowing what stack they are in and roughly knowing what colour they are. And sometimes knowing the one I want is next to a Blue/white spine that's under a gold scrolly coloured spine. Grouping by colour would KILL my system :)

I put them in there years ago when I lived in my apartment and didn't have space to keep all my jewel cases. I regret it because the ones I still care about, I'd like to have on a shelf, and the rest I'd like to sell. (Although, my experience with selling CDs is you regret it later, if you enjoyed the album even a little bit while you owned it, so maybe it's better that I can't).

 I have never sold a single piece of music. Not even that horrible Blink 182 cd I ended up with. Or the Magma cd which I have been threatening to sell for 2 dollars since my BBS fidonet days (20 years ago). Of course if you want the Blink 182 CD I would probably trade ;)

so for how much do they sell cd's out there guys?
it's really not easy to reach good original music in Turkey

I keep them in the house.....


Alright bad joke aside, I have cds all over the place. Stacks in the kitchen, bedroom and all over the livingroom. I do keep them in their cases, but as far as order goes, the only ones I've bundled up together, as in stacked together in the same room, are my Krautrock albums as well as my Italian collection. Other than those, it is a complete and utter chaos. It's the same way with all my books, but somehow I know where everything is.
