Andy, I plan on getting a CD rack like that, where did you get it? Here's my VdGG collection (with some Hammill thrown in):  I'm going to try and take my collection soon. My mother is going to buy me a CD rack as a late birthday present and I specified one like Sleeper has, it should fit my whole collection in, but I'm not sure. -------------

Maybe, but the alternative is to have them lying about on the floor, which is a big no-no for me as they will get troden on. Any CD's in special packing never fits into those metal racks with slots in for the disc, specialy Tools 10,000 Days. ------------- Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

I have that same problem, Andy. I have a few double jewel cased albums (Allman Bros. Band and Gov't Mule) and a Collectors Edition of a Gov't Mule album as well and they never fit anywhere other than those wooden cases. I have a plastic rack and all I have to do is breathe on it and all the CDs fall out! I've also now got a lot more digipak albums, as well as two vinyl-like CD boxes as well. -------------

I think I was looking at the next size up from yours, as I have more CDs. I'm sure I won't be able to fit them all in, but if I can at least put particular sub-genres, or band discographies in, that's a start. I'll finally be able to put my VdGG and Hammill together and not in a pile (as they currently are). -------------

Here's my collection: First part (A-L):  Note the Judas Priest and King Crimson collections... and the empty pack of Camel on top of the Camel CD's . (I'm not a smoker though.)The box in the top left corner contains 168 (!) jazz CD's (in cases of four), recorded from 1899 til 1955. If I remember correctly, I paid only 128 euro for that. ...And there's the Tool poster of course. Second part (L-Z & V.A.):  Experts will recognize the Magma (top left) and Zappa (lowest two shelfs) collections. In addition, here's my vinyl collection (I still have to listen to a lot of lp's I got from a neighbor - second pic  ) and some CD's on the loose:    PA on the pc: that's Sleeper's signature! My room is a bit of a mess at the moment, but the CD collection is always very tidy. Only a few CD's are seperated from the rest (for listening purpose); the rest is in alphabetical order. I originally kept 'classical' CD's (contemporary composers as well) seperate from the pop/rock/jazz ones, but I just started putting them all in alphabetical order. Nice to see Beethoven next to the Beatles! Oops! I almost forgot, the major part of my music books collection (most of them for my education):   In case you were wondering: I haven't read them all... yet. |

I used to store mine alphabetically, until I found out excavating Hawkwind cds on a bookshelf to get to Motorhead cds behind it was incredibly tiresome. So now they are arranged in two groups-the ones on the bookshelf are the "pry these out of my cold dead fingers" collection and the ones in the entertainment center are the "normal" collection. -------------

That sounds like my collection, Zac, only mine contains less! I did once have some kind of Alphabetical thing going on, but it got replaced by a Genre-specific and relational scheme, which was also alphabetical and then I took CDs out, didn't put them back... bought more... it's become a mess! I have a stack of 50 Cds right next to me as I speak. Not in a rack, but just stacked up, they're wobbling and I fear they more fall... -------------

I have the worst camera 'phone known to man, so apologies for these, they're the best I can do! The Lounge 1. The tidiest part of my CD collection and ironically the least played of my CDs   2. Further round from that tidy bit, we find VdGG and other stuff just on the floor; not my desired way of storage, grrr!   3. A few odd CDs on the top of the television and speakers. The ones nearest on the television are my three Ayreon albums.  By the Computer 1. This is the CDs I seem to play the most and it's a complete and utter cluttered mess! Notice the pile of 50 CDs stacked high and some on top of the PC tower. On top of the monitor is a CD waller with some copied CD-Rs in, that a friend sent me.  2. A closer view of the pile of 50 CDs, however, it's blurred!  Well that's it. -------------

Psychedelic pics! (not just the screensaver - or what else it is) What I find to be the biggest problem of a pile of CD's on your desk, is that you can easily knock them over and damage the jewel cases - which I did twice last week.  |

I know, I've been lucky so far, I've not managed to knock that big pile down and I don't plan to! But once I have my new CD racks, I hope it's problem solved. By the way, there are further CDs behind the speaker/television that I didn't photograph! I don't know why my camera is bad, it's taken good photos before and I turned the lights on in the lounge and hallway... oh well. That screensaver I've had for years, it came with a Jimi Hendrix Theme, but I soon discarded that and just kept the screensaver, I've used it for about 5 or more years on various computers, it's very psychedelic indeed! -------------

Coolies! I noticed a few pages a go that you have a nice VDGG collection as well. It looks like you have all the remasters.
Unfortunately I bought most of my VDGG CD's just before they started
remastering them. So now I only have the remasters of World Record and Quiet
Zone/The Pleasure Dome, and I don't feel like re-buying the other ones.BTW, you said 'rack'. Huhuhuh. |

I will have a couple of nice racks soon, don't you worry, Joren! Yes, I only had The least, H to He and Still Life as non-remastered, so I thought it was worth getting them all. I still have the non-remaster of Still Life too (the other two I gave to my brother and now I wish I hadn't, haha). I will be posting a bit later, a closer-up view of my CDs by my computer. I've actually worked out that with the light on the camera and the lights off, the photos actually are better and you can just about see album titles on the spines, so I'll post them up in a bit. -------------
