I am wondering if it is ok to store CD-R backups in CD folders/wallets. I buy my CD-Rs on spindles, so i don't have any jewel box cd covers i could store them in. Until now i have been storing my back-ups in CD wallets, but i have noticed that the discs have some scratches (very light) caused by the CD wallet when i insert and remove the discs. There is also dust on all of my CD-Rs that are stored in CD wallets. Should i use Jewel Box CD covers for my backups, instead of CD wallets?
Hmm, I posted my response in the other forum. I guess I'll post it here too. I use CD wallets myself and I don't have any problems with them. But if you want the best, you should go for jewel cases. Here's an excerpt from the OSTA:
I use cd wallets, or rather large books that hold 256 similar to a cd wallet. I have cds that I burnt in 1994 in those that are still readable and work ok after 10 years. The ones I have you cant get anymore though. They were leather books with sleeves from CD Projects, but they are out of business now.
I use cardboard boxes hehe They hold about 300 a box. For the stuff i actually have a chance of using (but never do), 256 count binders.... oh and lots of spindles.
ROTFLMAO Praetor! Hey, whatever works as I know you save everything. I use "slim cases" but I'm in the tedious process of converting all my cd-r backups to dvd-r(except for pc gaming and programs). Slim cases are stored in cardboard boxes...Me would have a sh!t fit if me lost my mp3 library! (60 cd-r's) Shoey
