[QUOTE="Alan Shutko, post: 5481171, member: 23694"] I stopped using the CD storage books when I pulled a CD out and it couldn't be read because the book had somewhat bonded to the surface and left pits. A CD resurfacer cured it, but I'm not trying that again. I'd be somewhat in favor of tossing the cases and putting them in some decent archival bag like comics. What I would be more likely to do is what I've done with CDs. Rip them and put them all on accessible network storage, ready to stream to your devices. Put the boxes of cases in deep storage somewhere you don't need to get at them. I still have the CDs because I like to have them in raw form, but they're locked away somewhere I don't need to get at them. Maybe for you that's in the attic, or a relative's house, or in the rafters above the garage, or in a storage locker. There's no reason they need to be accessible if all the content is on a disk somewhere. And hard drives are a lot cheaper than they used to be, and you can get terabytes on a network easily.
