Another option, one that avoids the "wall of spines" look of CD shelves that
may not be aesthetically pleasing to all, is to find a wall unit with
drawers that hold CDs. I have a wall unit from the now-defunct Workbench
(think Ikea-plus) with 10 drawers that hold about 1200 CDs. Major benefit
-- since each drawer holds about 25-30 CDs deep and five across, as opposed
to 30-40 CDs running one deep, you're minimizing the linear wallspace that's
chewed up by CD storage.
Here's a somewhat similar option (with a kind of office-furniture look,
unfortunately): http://www.can-am.ca/cdvideo.htm
Just another way to skin this particular cat...
