medjuck Posted March 22, 2004 Report Posted March 22, 2004 Ditto. I'd put all these in one post if I knew how. Quote
medjuck Posted March 22, 2004 Report Posted March 22, 2004 So for my birthday my wife bought me this narrow cd shelf that sits beside the book shelf. I've also saved space by putting cds I just need for work (soundtracks) behind the box sets. I've also taken cds out of those large holders they used to use for double sets and placed then in the newer narrower ones. Quote
Parkertown Posted March 22, 2004 Report Posted March 22, 2004 Ditto. I'd put all these in one post if I knew how. Medjuck, What are all the gray boxes on the right? Multiple copies of the Bill Evans Fantasy set? B) Seriously... Quote
doubleM Posted March 22, 2004 Report Posted March 22, 2004 They look like the Time/Life Giants of Jazz lp box sets. Quote
BruceH Posted March 22, 2004 Report Posted March 22, 2004 I was just about to say, it's nice to see that SOMEbody else in the world also has a raft of those Time/Life Giants of Jazz boxes. Way to go Medjuck! My favorites are the Ellington and Bunny Berigan sets. Quote
medjuck Posted March 22, 2004 Report Posted March 22, 2004 They look like the Time/Life Giants of Jazz lp box sets. Right you are. I had all of them though the EKE and lady Day sets were on cassette. I didn't order those 2 originally because I had all the cuts elsewhere. I eventually saw them remaindered somewhere and got them just for the booklets. Then someone from Australia on the RMB newsgroup pleaded for 3 of the box sets and I sent them to him. (He sent me some Aussie jazz cds and the Dylan" Masterpieces" box in return.) I can't remember exactly which Time-Lifes I sent. One was Frank Teschemaker (Sp?) in which I had no interest. But just yesterday I went to look something up in The Coleman Hawkins box and realized I know longer had it. BTW What I was looking for was pre-1929 Hawkins material. Maybe something with Mamie Smith (I'm reading the Chilton bio of Hawkins.) Any suggestions? Quote
Claude Posted March 23, 2004 Report Posted March 23, 2004 Some people asked me where to get those CD drawers. They are not manufactured anymore. But I found this interesting US manufacturer, which offers very compact CD shelves holding up to 1500 discs, for only $225: http://www.thejungles.com/wallcdstorage.html Quote
.:.impossible Posted May 2, 2004 Report Posted May 2, 2004 I pieced together four photos very sloppily, and did some odd looking patchwork, but you get the idea. The Monk print was a gift from my wife for my birthday! The iPod was a gift from myself! Quote
Jim R Posted May 3, 2004 Report Posted May 3, 2004 I'm photographically/technically challenged as well, so I'll use a combination of visual aids taken off the net and my amazing capacity for descriptive writing. I have part of my collection stored with my humble stereo system, in a custom-designed cabinet (manufactured by Modernica of L.A., based on the designs of Charles Eames). In terms of basic structure and size, it looks like this: Instead of white sliding doors to hide the stereo equipment, mine has maple "dimple doors" (see below); and instead of open space on the bottom shelves, mine has four drawers- two in each cavity on the bottom left and right (see photo of larger unit below). I can get about 480 CD's into the 4 drawers. Most of my individual CD's are stored in two white melamine shelves that I bought at a garage sale for a couple o' bucks each (made up for all the dough I coughed up for that Modernica piece). The shelves are adjustable for maximum capacity, and they're deep enough that I can display some CD's facing forward in the front (I get tired of always looking at spines). I rotate my favorite covers, so it makes for a nice system of displaying art. Quote

.:.impossible Posted May 3, 2004 Report Posted May 3, 2004 I don't think it will. I just got it this weekend. I've been loading it up since. I don't think of it as an alternative to CDs. I think of it as an alternative to a discman and Caselogic books in my suitcase! The kid at the store that sold (unlocked the display case) the iPod said something like "I never buy CDs and Satellite Radio is a waste of money. I just download everything and put it on the iPod." If that kid knew just one person who made their living playing music, I don't think he'd be stealing it. Its a portable storage device with a great front-end. Quote
Tjazz Posted May 3, 2004 Report Posted May 3, 2004 The kid at the store that sold (unlocked the display case) the iPod said something like "I never buy CDs and Satellite Radio is a waste of money. "I never buy CDs" That seems to be the feeling of the current generation (15 - 25). I've hear that statement alot. Quote
