Storing your shows?

im not sure about a sleeve but i know that there is a clear sticker like thing that would cling to the bottom of a cd and id assume they would take the scratch instead of the actual cd.

=====================================

I backup all my SHNs/FLACs onto DVDs and store them in these things:







And I burn al the shows to audio and store them in regular CD wallets. (I have about 35 right now all in some shelf type thing I bought at Ikea)

Ok, but what do you do when you get trades in from other people who send you audio shows? Do you rips those audio shows to your comp, convert to FLAC/SHN and then burn to DVD?

Any show that is ripped from a silver disc properly goes onto DVD. I just keep a queue of discs, and when I reach 4.7GB I burn a DVD. Everything else stays on my hard drive (I have 500GB of storage space and so far that's enough for everything I have).

As for trades of audio CDs, that's probably the best thing you can do. I don't trade for audio CDs personally (the issue of mailing, and the fact that the lineage is unknown and few people know how to rip and burn properly), but it seems the best way to store those would be to make your own lossless files.
