CD Storage

Has anyone come up with a good way to store CDs in this car? None of the spaces seem really suitable. Would apreciate hearing about any good solutions, as the wife says that the lack of CD space is the only thing that she doesn't like about it.

I just keep a 24 disc wallet in the glove box.

I have one of those contraptions that fits on the visor. Other than that, do CD's not fit in the middle compartment where the cell phone hookup is?

I have a flat 60 CD "wallet" thingy which fits nicely in the pouch behind the passengers seat.

I make CDR's of any CDs I want to listen to in the car and store them in those little CD envelopes with the glassine windows; they're easy to flip through and juggle, and I can hold a whole stack of 'em - maybe fifteen or so - in the cupholder compartment, where they fit perfectly. (I don't use the cupholders for cups - if you do, it wouldn't be very practical.) Like LiveBlues, I also keep a CD wallet in the glovebox, but it tends to take up a lot of space there - I'll take Razpewton's suggestion and try it out in the passenger seat pouch.

BTW, does anyone else burn CDR's for car use? I'm a careful guy, but I've broken or scratched several while driving and I'd hate to see that happen to an original. Plus no one wants to steal fingerprint-smudged CDR discs.

^That's what I've got. Just how I like em; easy access. Doesn't take up any space or hinder the vanity mirror.

I used to have one for my old car but the rubber band was so tight that it made a dent on the visor after leaving it for a year.

It will be a fixture on the car forever then.

Na, you might want to get it. If I can recall the visor is made out of plastic not cloth so it won't leave any marks. I had that concern as well.

I have a 32cd wallet, but if you don't have the Navigation DVD player in the back console, then about 3-4cd's will fit in there in the cases perfectly.

I do it, but just for my MP3's. I pick one original disc to bring, and I always have a mix of MP3's on a second.

200 CD holder in the trunk, 12 in the visor holder, and 6 in the changer.
Oh, and a few in the rear center compartment (where the DVD for the Nav is), which I think would be a good place for a smallish CD case.

I "store" my CDs in the changer. But if you really need more room, the center compartment would be a great spot.

In between the redline bleep and my radar detector, I can't find time to reach around for CD's, so I just bring one or two for the ride. Place them in the door pocket.

Jewel cases fit well in either of the center console compartments (I have arms of chimpanzee-like proportions, and can reach and operate the back seat compartment while driving).

Also, I have a 2-sided visor wallet (20 CD capacity) that fits well in the map pocket on the drivers door, and a 24 disk wallet that rides on the floor behind the passenger seat.

I use mostly CDRs in the car, although only minorly for durability. For me, it's more an issue of the hassle of moving cds in and out of my 400 disk home jukebox. That, and being able to get 50 disks worth of the songs I usually want to hear condensed onto 20 disks.

I used to worry about CDs, how to store them in any car I drove, making sure they never got scratched.

Then I got XM radio and I now I never listen to CDs anymore.

You think CDs are a problem. Try storing your 8 tracks

Hey now... some of the best music in only on 8-track.

Anyways, I have an i-pod and a car cradle that goes in the power port and holds it in front of the shifter... perfect.

I had a square CD wallet about 2 inches thick that just happened to fit perfectly in the rear console storage compartment, out of sight. 6 CD In dash changer is much nicer than digging around for CD's while driving.
