How to Organize Your CDs and DVDs

How many CDs and DVDs do you have? Why not toss out old media you don’t watch and organize the rest of your collection?

Swap Items

I used to use a site called Swap where you can build or get rid if of your DVD or CD collection. I pretty much got all the DVDs I own now from swapping them. Amazon also works well for selling or finding CDs and DVDs. You basically just pay for shipping for used items if you find them cheap enough.

Find Gems

Are you looking for rare items or autographed memorabilia? Check out Discogs for music fans where you can find rare CDs and vinyl. I have found some good deals off eBay. I have sold some autographed CDs there also and able to make some pretty good money.

Arrange Your Collection

If you have too many discs, I like this idea from Hi Sugarplum. Store CDs and DVDs in sleeves out of their case and put them in a wire basket with alphabetical tabs.

CDs or DVDs are great to display also. Pick your favorite items or autographed copies to frame or display. I have an old autographed Michelle Branch album sleeve from a CD in a photo frame. The album sleeve is opened up so you see all the artwork in the frame. A shelf is also is great for holding CDs. In my old bedroom, I glued down blank CDs to the bottom of a shelf and arranged my music CDs on the top of the shelf.

Let me know in the comments your favorite CD or DVD in your collection.
