I don't think anything's changed with the material they use on the inside of those binders, has it?

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

however if you scratch them open, they contain ice cream

thank you Dan for making me ruin fifteen CDs in a dippin dots craving frenzy

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

these are probably ok if they're small-ish but one of the dumbest things i ever did was pack a huge-ass caselogic full of cds and liner notes when i was 14.

If you plan on hauling them around in your car, they end up being pretty unwieldy.

got a human enough CD binder but my face is a doggy

Neden Raggett (some dude), Tuesday, 28 July 2009 18:12 (fourteen years ago) link

The thing I hate most about binders is all these bands hire moron graphic designers who think they're clever and don't put the fucking name of the band or album on the goddamn cd.

Kerm, Tuesday, 28 July 2009 18:16 (fourteen years ago) link

Yeah. I had two CDs that just have pictures of clouds on them. A few that were just plain black.

When will they make a CD binder that's big enough to hold my CD binders?

There, done.

That's a reference, not a joke.

Neden Raggett (some dude), Tuesday, 28 July 2009 19:38 (fourteen years ago) link

Wait, are you Seth MacFarlane?

Neden Raggett (some dude), Tuesday, 28 July 2009 19:38 (fourteen years ago) link

It's a joke because his name is pronounced "bin-der" not "bind-er".

Wait, are you Seth MacFarlane?

No.

grocery groin (snoball), Tuesday, 28 July 2009 19:40 (fourteen years ago) link

My mistake.

Oh wow. Sorry for assuming you were mocking me! That's nuts.

And contra what some people are saying, I'm pretty sure my case did scratch my CDs. But it was cheap and poorly-designed.

I've got a complete recitation of the Qur'an in this form.

Well not strictly a binder. You can't add or take out pages in this one.

The problem with the CD binder is that when you leave it places you lose all your CDs. Not that I have ever done that.
