The hardest part of downsizing my collection is that I didn't want to throw away or fold the inserts in either my CDs or DVDs.

For the DVDs, I found a company that sells binder inserts that hold the discs and the artwork/booklet on ebay.



For the CDs, I came close to getting binder inserts, but I decided against it. All of the commercially available binder pages for CDs don't hold the tray card (without folding it). Bags Unlimited have just released inserts that purport to solve the problem, but when I received them, it turns out that they are poorly engineered.

In the end, I went with JewelSleeves. They are thin and sturdy, and have separate pockets for the CD, booklet and tray card. Once we move, I'll buy one (or two) of their cabinets for the collection.

There's another company called DiscSox that makes similar CD sleeves as well as neat DVD booklet-style protectors, but JewelSleeve's design has a slight edge (top loading).

I'm sure it's a fine product, but that website does them no favors.

Very true. I just snapped these with my iPhone to show the sleeves:




On the front picture, I pulled the CD partly out. It actually sits in its own pocket behind the booklet. The sleeves are heavy (6-gauge vinyl), so they do a good job protecting the paper.

At least he had clothes on

(Why the hell can't I find the stupid picture of the guy selling his appliance on eBay where you can see his nekked body reflected in the appliance?!?)

That's the one - TYVM!

If your not-yet-open library isn't taking the donations yet, I urge you to drive a bit and find a library that will. :)

When I typed that I almost said that! That's what the pictures reminded me of...

Donations of what? :eek:
