Following on from EdPell's interesting query on CD collections, am I the only one who still has a collection of LPs and is busy digitising them?
How do you store your LPs? My big problem is finding suitable archiving boxes for my LPs that are tall and wide enough to take an LP while being shallow enough not to be too heavy. I need a cheap, sturdy, stackable, permanent storage solution so that I can keep them in the loft. Normal cardboard archiving boxes are either too short or, if they are tall enough, are too deep such that they collapse under the weight of the LPs and are too heavy to shift around. The best boxes I have found are these plastic ones from *'Really Useful Box' (http://www.reallyusefulproducts.co.uk/uk/html/onlineshop/rub/b19_0litreXL.php)*, but they are a bit heavy (when fully loaded) and expensive. They are also expensive and bulky to deliver as they are not flat-pack. I have around 600 LPs so would need 14 at a cost of around £125 (I don't like packing the disks in too tight). I might eventually go for these, but cannot justify the cost at the moment. I have come across these *'cardboard boxes' (http://www.amazon.co.uk/RECORD-STORAGE-BOX-VINYL-HOLDS/dp/B002LT2ZBU)*. They are the right size but, frankly, too flimsy to be a permanent archive solution. I also resent paying nearly £5 ($7.50) each for something temporary. I have bought a couple to keep a few disks in the study while I record them, but don't really want to buy more (I concur with the Amazon reviewer). At the moment the rest are in flimsy and collapsing cardboard removals boxes. Anybody else have a solution? Preferably something like the above cardboard boxes but a bit sturdier and nearer £2 a box than £5! -- TheLastMan Matt *SqueezeBoxes:* SB Duet (Controller + two receivers) *Server:* Synology Diskstation 107+ NAS (with firmware 2.3-1157) running Squeezebox Server 7.5.0 on Synology Package Manager *Network:* Netgear DG834GT ADSL modem/router, 2 x Buffalo WHR-HP-G54 as access points *Livingroom:* Receiver into Naim 42/110 amp, B&W CM2 speakers *Kitchen:* Receiver into Denon DM37 mini-system, B&W 686 speakers *Study:* Linn LP12, Naim 72/Hi-cap/Headline.
