I think I know exactly the CD unit you're talking about. I considered buying it last year, but unfortunately, the space that I use for CD storage (a little alcove between our chimney and wall) is less than 2cm too small to fit it in.

I'm really surprised that IKEA don't do more in the way of high volume storage.

I ripped all my cd's to a hard drive, where I have about 25 gigs of music, plus I have about 50 records on vinyl.

Is that an "age" thing?

 

no, it's probably not an age thing, just a convenience (and my short-attention-span generation prefers everything to be as convenient as possible).  but since I live between 2 cities going back and forth to college which are about 5 hours apart, it's easier for me to just grab a laptop or an ipod rather than box up all my CDs.  I can't survive very long without music to listen to, so the most convenient medium is best for me. 

I do agree, though, that there is something nice about having the physical specimen of a disc to put in a player, which I think is why I've been getting into vinyl recently.

I found that getting hold of storage for a collection of that size - which I don't consider to be huge - is well nigh impossible! At least not without spending a s**t load of money that I'd rather spend on discs!

I recently went in search of some storage for my collection of some 900+ CDs. I thought I'd try to get something that would allow me to store up to about 1300-1400 to allow for expansion.

I found that getting hold of storage for a collection of that size - which I don't consider to be huge - is well nigh impossible! At least not without spending a s**t load of money that I'd rather spend on discs!

I believe that there are plenty of people out there who have fairly good sized collections, and who would appreciate good quality moderately priced storage solutions.

I'm curious to see if my perception about people's collection sizes is correct. How many CD's do you currently own?
