Wow........ new binders......

Various suppliers make a tear-proof poly binder that can be gotten very cheap in bulk. All-poly, not poly wrapped over cardboard. Cheap binders-- I think we paid less than a dollar each at the time we got them. We'd had similar ones for band arrangements way back when we started; I've re-used them over and over and no ring failures. Anyway, they are very easy to cut down as CD albums, into which go C-Line products' #61958 hole-punched sheets which each hold 4 CDs and liner booklets. I think they were about $5 a pack when we got them as a box of 10-packs. Each binder will hold 10-12 sheets filled with CDs. So these are good, sturdy, cheap CD albums almost as cheap as the Dollar General ones I wished I'd gotten in bulk whle they had them.

Unlike the premade CD albums, it's easy to re-organize/re-alphabetize, because you can swap in or out whole sheets as needed.

So I am a ways off from needing an external hard drive for more memory-- by the time I fill these, the smaller drives I can use should be almost on giveaway pricing as the bigger ones come to the fore of the market.

I can "archive" current projects off into these binders. As projects become inactive, I can put the CDs on the leftover spindles and re-use the binders for new work.
