Re: Storing CDs? (cont'd)

[music <music...>]

I really appreciate the replies from Judy and Steve, but do want to clarify
that I don't really  have "extra room in my house" option--and that may
indeed be a problem,  perhaps requiring begging, borrowing, or stealing
(i.e., renting) storage  space?  A very expensive option.

I guess the question for me is *what* remperature (and, I guess, humidity)
standards apply.  It could, in theory, get quite cold or quite host in NYC
(where some of the CDs are) or (less hot but more cold, perhaps) in
Boston,  where others are.  In both cases my indoor temperatures are
certainly on  the high side.  So what to do?

It is, indeed, a big investment--but I'm not sure what, if anything, I
need  be concernd about, insofar as temperature, etc., is concerned, to
protect  it.  I appreciate the responses thus far and would be most
grateful for others, and/or for clarifications from Judy and/or Steve.

Many thanks,

Robert

   Robert,

   I personally would treat my CDs with tender loving care.  I used to
house my boxes in an extra room in my house.  Eventually, I had a warehouse
of sorts built on to the back of my garage and it is heat and air
controlled.  Now this is where I store all of my product -- tapes, CDs,
videos, books, etc. I know this temperature control is extremely important
for tapes -- I guess CDs are heartier.  But I would not want to take any
chances.  You have a big investment of time and money there.

   Judy :)
