Is it better to store CDs in their own cases on a rack, or as 'naked' CDs in a folio?

Hi, To be honest I don't think it makes much difference, but having the cd's without their cases can save a lot of space. If the CD's are games or expensive software, I would keep the cases in the cupboard incase you want to sell the cd's - having them with the original case and information bookletts can add value. CD's are pretty resiliant, so you have to try pretty hard to scratch them or warp them to a non-working state. Hope this helps, Chris.

Storing them in a folio would use much less space, but if any grit got into a folio pouch, the CD would get scratched pretty easily. Cases are obviously the most durable storage method, but the question is, do you need such a sturdy storage option for what you're using them for. I switched to the 128+ CD folio just because it uses so little space. Then I put little stickers on each pouch with a number, so I could catalogue them on my computer.

I have a shoebox literally brimming with discs that I have left lying around or in "limbo" between a CD folio and cases. I have a large CD folio that stores a couple of hundred discs. To be honest, if you were careful a folio would work well and save space. If each disc has a separate corresponding box or case then it may be difficult to keep track of both together. So you might end up with the disc in good condition in the folio but then have no idea where its original case, manual and so on are.
