Yeah. I, so far, I stick them in separate jewel cases. In spindles

laying on top of each other. Weight, etc. Might speed degradation.
Though,
unmoved, yes, probably not much of a problem. But it makes it a bit
hard to get to
a specific one without a lot of handling. Fingers are oily. Of
course, I
guess one could get thin latex gloves. :-) Probably depends how
paranoid one is.
Jewel cases do better than stacking spindles for protecting against
scratches from grit and allow direct access to individual disks
easily, but take up a lot more space on the shelf. In one test they
also showed the greatest damage to CDs/DVDs when exposed to hot
storage conditions (like in an automobile interior or on a shelf
where direct sun could strike them) but I doubt that people here
would consider that to be proper storage for their digital data ... ;-)
I like the binder idea. Going to look for one. Thx.
Case Logic makes a huge variety of binders and storage products. I
find them good quality and pretty cheap, available at places like
Circuit City, Good Guys, Fry's, Target, etc.
