ok as the title says, i am wondering what the best way is for me to store my records?

i have finally gotten my record player goin, after about 2 years of collecting records but not having a record player, and i have stored them a few different way.

first i had them in a draw lying down but i herad somewhere that that wasnt good so i then had them standing upright between 2 book stopper type thingsbut i didnt want to damage them so now i have them standing up in a cardboard box but i dont like the angle that some of them are sitting at.

so please any suggestions welcome.

cheers

kwIII

have them standing up on end, they will warp if you lay them down flat. Also, make sure they are standing as straight up as possible as well. I have a good collection of some priceless records and my old man told me this is the best way to store them

Bookman

I use this

as well as various other shelves and milk crates.

anti fishstick

yeah, use crates.. those kind you can stack up.

heh, i collect records and don't have a record player yet either.

someday...

You know you can get software to convert you records to mp3 or wma and it is pretty cool..........
