I am in the market for a new CD rack. I have two tall skinny ones that I
got from IKEA, but they no longer sell that style. I don't want a
mishmash, but I also don't want to have to replace the old ones. Nor do
I want to get rid of any of my CDs. I do not listen to cassettes. Most
of my music listening these days is on USB memory sticks. I ripped all
my best CDs and copied them to the memory sticks. I get 50-60 albums on
each one.
