Why CD Storage Units Are Popular
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Theodor_Cartman]Theodor Cartman

When we look at the music realm, we can't help but marvel at the technological advancements that have come of age. Just 20 years ago, music was solely stored on large cumbersome 18' vinyl records. These did serve a great purpose for their time. Their quality was relatively good but they were subject to scratching and thus "jumping" when being played. They were also bulky as we mentioned making it difficult to store them adequately without damaging them. The compact disc or CD, took over and replaced the vinyl although the vinyl players and discs are still played in many places. The CD revolutionized the way we listen and store music. We thus moved from analog music to the breathtaking realm of digital music which provided a better quality and a better way to transport and store music. But with CDs came the issue of storage. Bad storage can damage CDs just the same way that vi8nyl records can be damaged. CDs are susceptible to heat damage and also scratching which can also make the music skip or even totally render the CD useless. There has therefore been a move to make sure that CDs are stored well.

Today, because CDs are very prevalent and many people join CDs clubs where they can get a lot of music for pennies to the dollar. This is ideal because that is a great way to build a CD library and many people have taken advantage of these clubs to amass a huge collection. As we have stated, CDs can get damaged if not stored properly and because many people have amassed an impressive collection of CDs, there is the danger that the one can lose this collection if they do not take adequate steps when it comes to storage.

There are a few different types of storage units on the market. They come in wood, plastic and even polyester. People need CD storage units for two predominant reasons. One reasons is the obvious one; to keep the music from getting lost. As we states earlier, CDs are smaller than their vinyl ancestors. This makes is easier to lose a CD than to lose the bulky 18 record. A good storage unit therefore provides a way for someone to keep accurate track of their music collection.

Another reason why CD storage is important is to protect the music from damage. CDs use a series of digital numbers to store music and this can be damaged by heat and tare. A damaged CD can skip just the same way a vinyl record can and this is one of the reasons why storage is important.

CD storage bins come in racks and bins. Racks are ideal because they can be mounted anywhere without necessarily rearranging the way the rest of the room is presented. This means they can compliment other storage units in the house not to mention other pieces of furniture without looking out of place. This gives them an edge over other storage devices.
