Okay, I finally “woke up” to the fact that all those racks were taking up valuable space in my little apartment and bought myself one of those wallets that holds 250 CD’s.
Question is: What are y’all doing with the jewel cases. Pitchin’ em? And do you just insert the “liner notes” behind the CD that you place into a particular sleeve, or do you keep them at all?
I didn’t wanna insert my Beatles Anthology booklets into the same sleeve, so those get their own sleeve next to the CD.
Also, I’m alphabetizing 'em, and I’m currently on C and it looks like I’m gonna buy another wallet, and yet another one to store just the Christmas CD’s in. I also have CD’s at work and lying in drawers all over this little hell-hole of mine. 
Any of my Georgia kids that wanna come and get 'em, I’ll have four free-standing racks (2 hold 75 and 2 hold 40) and two bookcase racks which hold 20 each to give away. I’ll just be glad to get the extra space so I can put my guitar amp in that hole.
Thanks
Q
I put my CD’s in books, but I don’t put the booklets or anything else in the books. I don’t alphabetize, cause what happens when the new Adam Ant CD comes out? Are you going to shuffle 248 CD’s one space to the right?
I put the jewel boxes in a cardboard box and stash it on the top shelf of some really inaccessible cabinet. I haven’t had to get one out for at least two years, so I stack stuff on top all the time.
I’ve really stopped trying to organize them at all at this point. I just pull a book off the shelf and flip til something catches my eye. Sometimes I won’t flip through a particular book for a couple months and it’s like I got a $5000 certificate to Amazon with all the CD"s I suddenly realize I still have.
Also, make sure you don’t take a book like that with you in a car. I know tons of people whose cars were broken into specifically because they had a book with 250 CD’s in the front seat. Burn copies of a dozen or so at a time and carry them in some kind of open sleeve so would-be thieves see that they’re all copies and not worth any money.
I use mine (I have a 250 CD one and a 10-12 CD one) for going back and forth to school. I just put CDs in the sleeve things and keep the jewel case/liner notes in my CD rack, because I rotate CDs fairly often.
i put the liner notes either next to the cd or on the page op. the cd. i really like the cd cases. i use case logic ones.
i org.ed the cases by music type, classical, pop, folk, or by musician if there were enough to fill a case.
i tossed the jewel cases.
if you have a rather huge amount of cd you might want to consider looseleaf binders and cd pages. a bit less expensive than cases.
I have my CDs in wallets/holders/cases/whatever you call them, roughly alphabetized. Actually the first hundred or so are alphabetized, and everything after that is in the order I got it. When I get really bored I’ll re-organize everything.
Liner notes are in the jewel cases in a CD rack next to the stereo
My wife used to keep CDs in a wallet/book. If you look inside it now, you’ll be able to read what was on the labels after the CDs have been removed, because the pressure of being zipped up and mashed together made the ink transfer onto the inside of the plastic pockets. Bad, IMHO. Something to consider.
I, on the other hand, like jewel cases and artwork, and I have just progressed from plastic racks with individual slots to a wall of shelves made from 3/4 x 6 x 8ft lumber to hold the first 1800. I’m already out of space on that wall. During my Xmas vacation, I plan to build Wall o’CDs II.
