    Anyone come across a good way to manage all the DVDs and CDs we have to live with? The DVD/CD binders are a total hassle but are they the best choice there is?

      Well my approach is pretty novel - I call it the "Piling System" (TM, Pat. Pending) which involves strategically piling them in places around the house. I sell a *lite* version of the "Piling System" for SOHO/Student users; it's a bit cut down, but just about any available floor space will do. ;)

      "On one of my cards it said I had to find temperatures lower than -8. The numbers I uncovered were -6 and -7 so I thought I had won, and so did the woman in the shop. But when she scanned the card the machine said I hadn't. "I phoned Camelot and they fobbed me off with some story that -6 is higher - not lower - than -8 but I'm not having it." -Tina Farrell, a 23 year old thicky from Levenshulme, Manchester.

        I wish they would go the way of the dodo. Surely the days of a mechanically whirling disk to store information should be behind us now.

          I still think that will be what... maybe 5 more years? Pretty soon HDDs will be so cheap you'll just buy ITunes Store on an HDD. You unlock each song you want to hear but it's just on an HDD.

            I put used ones in one stack, and empties in another. I call it Uncle Johns Magical DVD Stacking Management System (patent pending).

              I'm not so good. For me that becomes the not so patent pending "Scratched Management System". I've got some ruined DVD's now because I'm not so good at that.

                    I have that too, but with the Bonus Hidden System which includes cases under the couch, in weird boxes when we moved, in the kitchen cabinets....

                        I rip 'em all and then pile 'em in the corner. Occasionally, i'll dig one or two out to listen to while i work outdoors, but generally they just sit there collecting dust - my PC is connected to my stereo, and there are big stacks of blank discs next to it... so, no worries. ;)

                            I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you to cease and desist, else my attorney will be contacting you shortly. Your patent claim is clearly void as the method is an obvious extension of prior art. I developed this "piling" method back when floppy disks were floppy, and 8" square, but rather than add to the clutter of useless and antisocial patents I placed it in the public domain for all to use. Many of my colleagues were, at the time, properly impressed and grateful for my generous contribution to digital file management. I also did some advanced development on vertical storage techniques involving refrigerator magnets, but that work had to be abandoned when federal funding dried up after 6 years' effort. I still feel we were on the verge of something truly ground-breaking, once we overcame the minor problem of random domain reorganization.
