alternated method for storing compact discs

Do not use those nylon carry cases!!! The fiber material of the pockets definitely causes MAJOR scratches on CD's. The plastic pockets of the 3 ring notebook page size [2 CD's per page] holders won't scratch the CD, but if you leave them sitting in the pockets for awhile, some of the label ink will come off and adhere to the plastic.

Discsox makes some very useful sleeves that even include separate pockets for the CD, liner notes, and label:

I keep all my CDs in them (about 1,00 now). When I get a new CD, I open the box, grab the booklet, and slip it in a DiscSox. Then I rip the disc to my harddrive and put it all away for safekeeping. At the same time I toss the jewelcase - those things even clog up my wastebasket.

The pleasant thing is that a tray of Sox is much like flipping through a miniature record bin.

They sleeves are lined and there is no noticeable damage to the CD

I use Sony CD Megachangers and Titletrack Jukebox software to control them from my Mac Mini. It is great. I get to browse, search, select, play and cue music from any CD ...it will even stagger music for continuous play. I have the album art also. I can find anything in seconds...it really beats playing around with CD jewel cases hands down!

Bigbucks5,
I kinda like your approach but there's one little problem:
Most of these mega CD-changing mechanizms scratch and damage CDs during flips.

Have no idea what you are talking about. What 'flips'?
