Seperate subcategories exist for specific types of storage systems; sites selling more than one of these categories of storage units are listed here in the broader category.
Cabinet storage systems for recordings are those which use drawers or doors, keeping the recordings out-of-view. Included are wall-mounted cabinets and free-standing modular cabinet systems.
Display systems for storing recordings generally involve keeping the recordings mounted flat against a wall, where the front cover can be seen and admired.
Jewel cases are the hard plastic storage boxes such as new compact discs are sold in. Shells are the newer flexible one-piece plastic shell cases. Sites selling DVD boxes will also be listed here.
Rack systems for storage of recordings generally involve having a separate slot for each recording, allowing them to be stored in a horizontal position. These racks include wall-mounted, free-standing, and table-top designs.
Shelf systems for storing recordings are those units where recordings are kept vertically, with the spine pointing outward where it can be read. These include traditional bookshelf-type units as well as those that use dowels.
These systems for storing compact discs and DVDs involve removing the CDs/DVDs from the jewel cases or boxes they are sold in and replacing them with a smaller and thinner replacement. These replacement sleeves/cases can be stored using less space than if one were using the original packaging. Binders and other portable storage for the sleeved recordings are also available.
