| 373.1 | hmmmmm | THORBY::MARRA | All I have to be is what You made me. | Thu May 29 1986 13:21 | 10 |
| good question...
I believe that the case they come in (jewel box) securely holds
the cd flat against the back of the box. Check it out tonight and
we'll see what we come up with in the morning.
still, a good question? any technical answers before I build another
rack for myself?

All the jewel box designs I've seen in current use have the
center spindle (that piece that the cd 'snaps' onto) raised
so that the surface of the cd that is facing down (usually
the data side) does not contact the plastic holder. In single
cd boxes, this gap is probably less than a 1/16 of an inch,
but in the multi-cd boxes the 'center page' gap is about 1/4
of an inch. I would, therefore, argue for virtical storage.

| 373.3 | there ARE vertical racks... | CAD::KINMONTH | | Sun Jun 01 1986 11:58 | 9 |
| re .0, I've seen racks that hold the discs vertically. There are
those plastic modular ones that I think are called DiscBox, and
there are nice oak racks by Audio Organizers (I think there's an
ad in Digital Audio). I have one of the Audio Organizer racks and
like it a lot. It's just a basic "bookshelf" style. I never could
see the need for individual slots other than to waste space and
cause problems for multi-disc packages. I got my shelf at Electric
Grammophone in Sudbury. There's a seperate note devoted to that
store if you've never been there (note #36).

| 373.4 | It don't matter anymore,ta-da,ta-da | JAKE::ROBERTSON | Can't hear it? Are you Blind? | Mon Jun 02 1986 16:05 | 12 |
| Cdonsidering the material and the stiffness of CDs, I wouldn't
worry about them nearly as much as LPs. CDs aren't as susceptable
to creep or residual stresses as LPs and even if they were the
effect would not be as drastic since there is much less area
for the warp to affect. If you have ever noticed, LPs tend to
warp on the outer edges and are usually flatter towards the
middle. As long as your CDs are kept at resonable temperatures
whether they are stored vertically or horizontally should not
make any difference.

Lechemere has a sale right now, on roll top CD holder. I'm
not sure what it is made of but, it regular runs at 39.99, and is
on sale for 29.99. I was thinking of checking it out.

| 373.6 | Not a Concern | KIRK::CREASER | | Wed Jun 11 1986 11:39 | 11 |
| Distortion should not be a concern due to the small stress in the
CD geometry and perhaps most important is that the disk is a laminate
structure. This afford the disk much high resistance to warpage.
The individual horizontal storage provides convenience by allowing
you to remove one from the stack without dumping those above and
it sure makes reading the titles alot easier!
They'll last longer than me,

| 373.7 | Audio Organizers CD Rack described in 210.0 | PYRITE::WEAVER | Dave - Laboratory Data Products | Wed Jun 11 1986 20:16 | 7 |
| Re: .0
In 210.0 I describe the Audio Organizers CD storage rack and provide
an ASCII picture of it (we all know the great quality of ASCII
pictures!).
