They are all stored in an old wooden office file cabinet, 2 drawers for CD's the other drawers have assorted cables and audio stuff.
Once ripped to my Zune software I load it on my Zune device for mobile listening or stream the music to my system from the software.
I rarely play actual CDs anymore....but I am looking for a new CDP, current one is dying.

If you're not playing CDs much then buy a cheap $100 DVD player - the DACs in those are as good as any $500 CD player (because they are designed for 24-bit operations so are smooth as silk at 16-bit) and if you get the right one you can play DVD-audio, which is far superior to CD in bit depth and sample rate.
What?

In jewel cases neatly stacked.....in cardboard boxes in the attic. I'm renting a room , looking for an apartment, have to wait until I move to an apartment to unpack the cd boxes.

Me too. I had sort of like a "B section" stacked in the wardrobe, the stuff that I rarely listen to.
 
I had the cds sorted randomly by artist, not alphabetically.

CD's in jewel cases alphabetically stacked by artist ( not by the artist personally!). Then ripped on to PC ( which shamefully replaced my hi-fi ).....then...burnt onto a portable hard drive and stored in a fireproof box!!!! just in case...would cost a fortune to replace 1000+  cd's!

 "not by the artist personally" LOL Oh what fun that would be... "Oi! Anderson, your Yes albums are in a terrible mess, get your backside around here immediately and stack them alphabetically or they're not going to get played"... "I don't care how long he's been dead, if someone from the Hendrix Foundation doesn't come to my house and stack his CDs alphabetically then they're going to the Oxfam shop."
What?

Chris would want to put all the yes albums in the "S" section.

Oh and I currently keep 30 Scandinavian prog rock records in my sock drawer, because I felt like it.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...
