Seconding everyone who says this will scratch your CDs. Do not do this; keep them in the jewel cases.
I got rid of all my jewel cases 7 years ago. None of my CDs have been actually damaged. Sure, they have some surface scratches, but nothing that prevents play.
We also keep our whole dvd collection in CD binders, and haven't ever had a problem.

I think the deal is if you get a binder, be careful that you don't go across your cds with a rusty nail en route from the jewel case to the binder. they will get scratched if you do that.

I wonder, are the people with scratched CDs using limited edition binders made out of steel wool??? I have never had this problem.
― Four-TEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN! (HI DERE), Tuesday, 28 July 2009 15:10 (fourteen years ago) link
Maybe this was a problem with binders from, oh, 1999? Or perhaps I just bought a shitty binder or didn't know how to take care of my CDs when I was 15?
I haven't used a binder for my records in ten years. RIP.

These things are ugly and cumbersome and largely pointless now. The point of buying CDs in physical format is partly for the sleeves etc - a CD is really just a piece of plastic that holds data. What's the advantage of one of these over an iPod full of high-quality MP3s?
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 28 July 2009 15:21 (fourteen years ago) link
if you sell an ipod to someone on the street, you only make one sale
if you sell from an entire binder full of cd's to people on the street, you can make multiple sales

In all honesty, I use mine more for computer backup stuff than I do CDs. I stopped carrying music in them after the travel debacle where I left one on a plane and never recovered it.

Really, kingkongvsgodzilla? (I wasn't really mad, btw, I was just jokingly swearing.) But when you said that, I realized you're probably right . . . I don't think anything's changed with the material they use on the inside of those binders, has it?

You need to get the ones with the little dots.

I swear to god when I was planning to ditch all my jewel cases in May 2002, I went into best buy and there were two types of sleeves for CD binders - one that was normal, and one that had little dots. the little dots ones had a sticker on them that said something like "new cd-protecting dots designed by top engineers at microsoft" or something like that.

I think there are DJs that still use CDs, and they burn CD mixes and then put those in those CD binders and bring them to DJ on their CDDJ Set-ups. I've seen it before, I swear.

the cd-protecting dots are an RIAA hoax intended to ruin your collection & make you have to re-buy it

if you tape your collection, be sure to BREAK OFF the tabs on top so you don't accidentally record over them. VERY important.
