I attained the near-closure of a several-weeks-long project at home involving my CD collection. Years ago, I dispensed with jewelboxes and transferred all artwork into polyvinyl sleeves. The CDs went into protective sleeves and into aluminum cases. Well, the cases are great, but I simply will NOT buy another and my DVD collection also is in cases and growth room has vanished.
SO....I opted for putting all my CDs into paper sleeves and inserting them, too, into the polyvinyl sleeves. I rapidly exhausted my supply of sleeves (I had a hundred on hand for DVD-Rs and CD-rs). I ordered 1,000 a few weeks ago. In one weekend, they were all used and I ordered 2,000 more. They arrived last week and this weekend I exhausted that supply as well. Happily, I'm very near the end of the project, but I've ordered another 1,000 sleeves just to be sure I have plenty on hand for the next few years of CD buying. Hopefully, outside of a few elite CDs from the likes of Kritzerland, Intrada, FSM, Prometheus, and other specialty labels, my CD buying should be at an end. I have more music on CD than I shall ever be able to listen to for the rest of my life.
Since I don't know what I'll be in the mood to listen to, though, I must maintain the collection and its variety.
All of that notwithstanding, I have encountered a few unforseen glitches:
I have CDs for which I can find no artwork. And I have artwork for CDs which I cannot find. It's all VERY vexing, indeed!
I know this will work itself out eventually...but I hate having the odd sock lying around, if you don't mind an analogy.
