Funny how my media storage needs have changed in the last 10 years since starting this thread. Now I just use spotify.

That is p Great! But I'm afraid that at $150 for the 4x4 and $20 per insert the cost will add up fast; the Billy's only $50

> Are there any inserts to break up the (ikea expedit) squares so I don't have to stack CDs? I've thought about the Expedit but the lack of adjustable shelves turns me off.
yep, all sort of them - one that breaks them into quarters when inserted, one for two stacked drawers, colored or mirror doors, all sorts of wicker baskets, and others. I've bought four Expedit shelves (some 1x5 rather than 2x4) - they're v. sturdy, and fully finished front and back, top and bottom. So if the top surface gets scratched over time, you turn the whole thing upside down and now it looks the same as before but with a pristine surface on the shelves and top.

Billy better for CDs and DVDs though - shallower, somewhat adjustable shelves, has a back surface, less expensive. For a vinyl collection, Expedit's size and strength are perfect.

You buy 5-6 of those wacky doodads though and you've quickly doubled the cost of your shelves. I love my Expedit shelves, though!I've cut up little pieces of cardboard to stick between rows of CDs on tall shelves, allowing me to stack multiple rows of normally-oriented CDs on one row of shelving. Looks grody but it works.

Ya it's a mostly cd and DVD collection and the records are almost an afterthought.

place a row of cds at the front of yr shelves, then screw a piece of wood horizontally between the shelves behind and flush w/the top of that row of cds, then put yr 2nd row of cds on top of the wood and boom yr cds are arrayed in a pleasing stair style layout and the structural wood is concealed, thats what i did once long ago when i had cds

Yeah i'm convinced that's how Ikea makes money - sell cheap furniture and then charge alot for accessories. Kind of like how McDonalds loses money on hamburgers but makes it back selling a cup of Coca-Cola at 4x their cost.
