No, but I remember them from the '90s.

This is pretty cool, but $170 is still expensive in today's dollar

Also it's not flexible. It's only useful if you really want to organize around 100 CDs. Having 60 in there might look weird

[–] fuckwit_mcbumcrumble@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Lets be honest. The type of person to buy something like this isn't going to have only 60 CDs to put in there. They've probably got a CD mountain lying around.

I used to sell furniture back then, we sold many cd and DVD racks. But we had one big carousel that held about 200 CDs and 160 DVDs. One guy bought four of these. I wonder what he's doing with them now...

I still have a couple of my Sauder DVD shelves from the early 2000's, they hold some DVD's, PS4 games, switch cases, Blu-rays, a couple paperbacks, and a few pop figs now.

They all looked, and felt, cheap AF just like the one in the pic. They were a thing too for DVD collectors if memory serves.

I also remember elaborate organisers like these would break easily.

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 10 points 3 months ago

Why did they make this carnival ride

zipper

into a CD-organizer?

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

Wow, a whole 68.3GB of lossless bitstream audio, directly at your fingertips! Twenty years ago I would have loved to own one of these. $50 says the motor would break in a year, though.

That seems excessive when you can just organize them.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 15 points 3 months ago

That is a way to organize them.

Runs on 6 D batteries

I wasn't prepared for that second throwback

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yo! I need something like that (despite not having anywhere near enough CDs)!

I already have a couple external drives and some backed up CDs/songs on certain devices, but that looks like a really cool way display the CDs I have in their jewel cases compared to just using a drive.

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 months ago

I think i have an idea for a modern art HDD cage now.

[–] tetris11@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

what the hell is that? It looks like WD40 made a brick, that someone etched holes into and then slapped on a sticker

[–] Laser@feddit.org 2 points 3 months ago

This will fit about a hundred times the amount of CDs after lossless compression compared to tower

And yet, it doesn't give the same vibe

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Shit, I need this today! I have hundreds of CDs sitting in organized boxes in the garage.

[–] SquiffSquiff@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

I don't recall ever seeing anything like this. Cd autochangers had a market, not this
