For the amount of praise I received, I'm not sure that some of you weren't under the impression that I built the shelves...which is not the case. They are IKEA "Billy" shelves (two different widths) with some CD Inserts on some of the shelves. Each insert holds 128 CDs, so I currently have storage for 768 discs. I think I'm going to buy another insert or two in case they discontinue the color...it matches my Beech Axioms pretty well. The lights are also IKEA, and though I have two on the shelving units, I bought a third to mount on top of the equipment rack. Maybe tomorrow I'll mount that light and post a photo.
The whole thing only took me an hour to assemble, but it took eight hours to match up the loose CDs with their respective Jewel Cases and alphabetize them.
And, yeah, it's typically that neat! It's only a corner of a room and we don't have kids!
Thanks for all the kind comments, though!

My rooms have corners, and we also don't have kids...

WoW Mark, I'm very impressed with your library, and very jealous!

I have IKEA CD/DVD shelves, but I have BENOs, they are adjustable for DVDs and CDs as well. I have 4 of them so far, three for my CDs and only one for DVDs, since I rent (Netflix) my movies, and buy only "must have" ones.

Yup, got four of the Bennos, too! Very versatile for DVD and/or CD storage. I need another one, but the box is just a bit too long to fit in my car!

I thought about the Bennos as well, but wanted to "break things up a little" with books as well. Also, I have 8.5' ceilings and I liked the idea of it being a little more "floor to ceiling".

Looks good Mark, I'm impressed how well the shelves match the speaker finish. I actually have exactly the same bookshelf to hold CDs & DVDs. I tried to go with a nice lighted cabinet design with frost covered front glass doors, but i've been too lazy to properly do the frosting or the lighting. And in the mean time i've filled the freaking cabinet up so now i need something bigger! It will never end!

I have tried a couple of times to make text-enabled copies but with no success. Please let us know how the conversion goes and what tools worked well for you...
Me too. Mark, please let us know if you figure this out. I'm particularly curious how to do it in Windows Media Player. Thanks.

Then again, you could rip all of your data to your hard drive and have it digital, CD-quality, and out of the dark ages. It's easy to switch CD's, do a simple shuffle, or whatever.
Maybe I should make a guide for some axiomites out there on how to rip high-quality mp3's audiophile style (and I'm not talking the rcheap mp3 ripper in iTunes).
But, nonetheless, very nice collection. That's a ridiculous amount of music right there.
