Question for all you CD folks...

Since I will be moving within the next 4-8 months or so, I want to transport my now somewhat bloated (and expensive) CD collection in a safe manner.

Everything is in standard size jewel cases (and will remain in the original cases), so I need some decent cases to move them in. Lockable is not really necessary, since they will be traveling with me, and I figure somebody would just grab the cases anyway, and break the locks later.

Light weight, and reasonable price are the two main factors, since I will need a number of them. I liked the SKBs, but at $129 a pop, they are fairly expensive for a simple move.

Suggestions, thoughts of other ways of packing them, etc...
 
Are these going to just be for the move, or permanent homes for the CDs?
 
Just for the move (possibly two moves, if I can't find a place right away).

I'm one of those people that like to setup a nice wall display with my CDs and LPs (my bit of ego) :sqbiggrin:

Last time I did this move (over 1500 miles), I broke lots of jewel cases using regular boxes, just from the bumping around and such. They are a royal pain to take all the inserts out, and put into a new case.

I used to have these nice lightweight wooden cases, with padded inserts for each jewel case, but I subsequently gave them away :sqerr:
 
That's an option, although I figured there must be many people who have to move their collection, and I figured somebody would have a product available :sqerr:

I saw these Odyssey KROM cases for $29 at Hollywood DJ.

I was hoping for something with individual inserts for each CD though, like the wood ones I mentioned above, but can't seem to find any...

They were neat, because they had mounting holes for wall mounts, although I like to build my own shelving - I could always use them for data CDs after though. I think I picked 'em up at a local music store sometime in the last century for less than $20 each, and they held 60 CDs each (3 double slots on the top I think).

If anybody runs across them while searching about, clue me in please :sqbiggrin:


Damn, I hate movin' :sqeek:

I have many Case logic cases In storage I could cross the border this Sunday and ship em out pronto and I think I know the negotiation which would work for ya. PM me if this sounds like a good partial fix. I think I have enough to cover atleast 500 discs or maybe more. They arent pristine but the protective inserts are all good to go.:sqcool:

oh and these inserts have wall mounting holes as well. Not as pretty as wood but they have stackable grooves for most of them.
