Well... there's about 500 there on the shelf and some more on my hard drive. But there always seems to be the same dilema when picking music to listen to: "this I've just listened to, this hasn't the proper mood, this one is boaring, this one is such a bad recording etc. 😀
Very nice. I am interested in the plans, so I'll PM you.
We moved a few months ago, and my CD storage racks got left behind (at the buyer's request) - they were a bunch of the IKEA metal racks, screwed to the walls/studs, so I would have had to patch a lot of screw-holes if I'd taken them. Since then, primary storage for a lot of my CD's is those moving boxes while the rest of the house got sorted out.
However, I also found it unexpectedly difficult to find a good DIY plan for storing larger quantities of CD's (i.e. >500). I'd started trying to plan out my own design, but I like how yours turned out. Sharing would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Ron

Besides upgrading my system with DIY gear, a major improvement to the listening experience was to store all my music, in FLAC format, on a dedicated server, and build play lists for different moods and occasions.
Thank you very much, Jukka
More detailed plans than I'd expected. I'll have to raise my game if I want to build a unit that approaches yours!

Btw. the top board is deliberately 4 mm narrower than the side boards - and also the side boards reach 2mm above the top board surface. These details bring a little vividness and style to the shelf. 😎
And also since the top board is 4mm narrower, the middle board has to be tapered the same amount from the top end. I started the tapering 140mm (one shelf gap) from the top.
Also the drawers are made to be recessed about 2-3mm. I think this gives them a better appearance than being stationed exactly at the edge of the shelf.
The shelf can also be made less deep if one wants, but I though 18cm gave a balanced look.
Cheers!
