Like for transporting like 3 from a car to a friend or what ever, I think they're great but IMO I really hate them for the most part because they don't fit in CD racks very well. (Gotta stack two per slot) :|
Do you hate slim Jewel cases?

Who keeps CDs in cases? All my software discs are in binders, all my music gets ripped into files as soon as I get it...
Backups? Not everything is just music ya know... Some CDs are compilations of softwares [(I plan to make a disc one day that will have all the tools necessary to fix most systems)Can't use bart's PE because I've got corperate ed. XP and I don't think Bart's PE is available for 2K discs...]
Also, BTW binders would have more wear and tear than a regular CD holder because of the friction of moving it back and forth. I've got a binder as well but the things I REALLY want to keep in absolute mint condition (back ups for example) I keep in joilette cases.
Huh? Backups are data. Into the binder they go. Besides, I don't use CDs for backups... DVDs all the way.
If you really were doing backups, you'd have them in joilette cases. A joilette case will protect the CD/DVD much much longer than a binder. Not all backups are data ya know, CD backups? DVD backups!? Heard of those!?
Hey Mr. Professor, here's a surprise: Music CDs and video DVDs contain (drumroll) DATA. Wow. Yeah, I know, kinda blows your mind.
I've been using binders for about 10 years, never had a problem with any disc from them. Joilette cases are big and ugly.
Ok, I know that so I don't know where you were getting at by saying "backups are data" Just *trying to reply to what you said, didn't feel like getting to an arguement about the technicalities of music CDs and DVDs being considered "DATA". Sure they're data, what ever but when most people refer to "data" they're referring to files like word documents :roll: looks like some one here is looking for a flame war :roll:
Oh, sure you've been using binders for 10 years, big whoop, 10 years isn't very long considering how long CDs SHOULD last. I'm very anal about my cds, if you check out my game cds, you'd find maybe one or two scratches on my discs 2000> because of the control I've been able to get on my discs since then. Look, it's a fact,if you rub agianst some thing, it's going to wear out, can't deny it.
So...what exactly is a "joilette" case? Or do you mean Joliet? Even if you do mean Joliet, it's not the name for a CD/DVD/any media that has a plastic case that comes in a slimmed down size.
Yes I meant joilet case, I figured I needed two t's in order to make it refer to more than one. What is the case called that is used to protect cds? I've heard it called a joliet so I'm sticking to it unless a theres a word for it that makes more sense.

Yes it was a good thread, the ultimate pwnage of all time. I'm surprised Nik didn't just create a new screen name or what ever, start a new life, it'd be so embarassing to be him.
Edit: Anybody got a link to that original thread? IIRC it was locked
