Thanks!If your shelves can accomodate over twice the height of a CD, (x2.2 or more), a layer of reasonably stiff cardboard (shoebox strength) on top of the first row, will easily support a second row of CDs.

Lateral thinking - record all your CDs onto an external hard disc and play them in something like iTunes.
I did that years ago, so all the CDs are in stored in boxes out of the way.
Big advantage - you can make playlists and listen to exactly what you want. I have loads of playlists in iTunes.

Let's see. 10 shelves, 9 spaces between, if there is 10 inches between shelves the unit would be like 9 >feet tall. Not likely and not CD shelving in the first place.

What I'd recommend is that instead of starting at the one on the top left and working your way down, you just rip the CDs after playing them. This means that you rip the ones you play the most, leaving the ones you haven't played since 1983 to slumber

I realize lots of you have no use for CDs and are happy putting everything on some sort of device. In fact, I have maybe half my CDs on a 1TB micro SD card, which I slot into my phone. But I also want the CDs themselves. I have no desire for playlists,incidentally -- only use them for long car trips.
Thanks for the Leslie Dame suggestion. I think that's actually what I have, but unfortunately they have cut this shelving from their product line. I guess I'll have to settle for a substitute.

Like any magic sword or ring whose power must be shepherded to a new owner, you just need to recruit some young people to take the burden off your wife's hands when the time arrives. Preferable those who are local and who already own cd players.

Thanks for the Leslie Dame suggestion. I think that's actually what I have, but unfortunately they have cut this shelving from their product line. I guess I'll have to settle for a substitute.

What was wrong with the one I posted? The price? It is exactly as you described. Oak, 10 shelves, no blocking side moldings.
Take a look.

Only the price which is $791 as against $179. A big difference.

Just like the world of CD players, I'm afraid. I've also read that BluRay discs are on their way out. The time may well come when the Katy Perry brigade buy vinyl, but the rest of us buy downloads or stream, and buy DVDs of classic cinema that doesn't

You might be happy with that if you are a "HIP" advocate. Older
recordings are less likely to be HIP so throwing away the old
and sticking with the new is a way to keep "relevant". But
not all of us believe that newer is always better.
I bought a new component CD Player recently, so they still exist.

Also, there is no way I'm going to stop a nearly 40 year old physical CD habit, when the 40 years represents 40 years of painstaking research, locating, finding reviews, sampling, refining, etc., to suddenly suit a vogue to download the present pile of

Aside from the price, two problems in ascending order: it's double width, and unless I live a lot longer and get even more obsessed, I won't need the capacity; and the store is shuttered until March, they say, and I suspect longer.

... so I downloaded dbPowerAmp, a cheap laptop, an external hard drive, the current version of JRiver Media Centre and set to work (the DVD ripping followed on immediately). I found in the course of doing this that there were certain unforeseenadvantages. One is that I can store stuff like Haydn symphonies and Scarlatti sonatas in numerical order, without having to look through umpteen CDs to find the one I want, or to keep a separate index. Another is the ability to rearrange my collection

I do the same thing... but I am pretty much paranoid about my drive failing, or Google Drive failing... so I have several external drives that are copies, and I keep one of them off-site (in the car) at all times. This helps me to sleep at night... andI update all drives on a regular schedule so that any losses will be minimal.
Lateral thinking - record all your CDs onto an external hard disc and play them in something like iTunes.
I did that years ago, so all the CDs are in stored in boxes out of the way.
Big advantage - you can make playlists and listen to exactly what you want. I have loads of playlists in iTunes.
