Based on the reviews read here, we bought three of these to contain a special subset of our main collection, which is housed in several large zippered binders made by Targus and CaseLogic. Comparing the two system concepts -- looseleaf book style vs. zipped binders -- we came to these conclusions:

* Zipped binders provide considerably more dust protection than the bookshelf binders.

* Looseleaf book-style binders afford greater flexibility in moving discs from one place in a volume to another than do zippered binders lacking removable page capability.

* Zipped binders with handles offer easier portability, even if only from room to room.

* These particular looseleaf book-style binders don't seem to be as well made as we expected; on receipt, the paper glued to inside the front cover of one was already beginning to detach. They do, however, offer convenient spine slots for labeling contents.

* Most seriously, these binders don't come with enough inserts to fill them out sufficiently; we found that the inserts from three binders barely fill two, leaving one empty binder and the need to buy additional inserts.

Tip: if you opt for this style (and are willing to accept the dust vulnerability), buy fewer binders but more inserts (sold separately at Large CD/DVD Binder Insert Pages). A filled binder will stand better on shelves and fill out the space between volumes from back to front.

This is a costly solution to the CD/DVD storage solution that looks better, I think, than it works. We'll keep the ones we have, and buy more inserts, but return to our former practice of using zippered, large-capacity, bookshelf-sized binders.

I ordered two of these a week ago, got them yesterday, and just ordered two more. I am using the binder for music CDs. It indeed holds 48, using both sides of the page inserts, without having to force or squash them in. Each slot will fit a CD and the jewel case booklet (insert the CD playing surface toward the back - there is a soft cushiony material there). I plan to put all my CDs in these binders. You can insert lists of songs or other info next to each CD, but I will just flip through the pages to find the one I want. The binder is easy to handle. They look nice, and free up lots of shelf room. The faux-leather seems durable, and doesn't look tacky. The binder is large, so I probably wouldn't use it to carry CDs around, but could, in a pinch. I just wanted something sharp looking, easy to use, and less shelf clutter. This fits the bill just right!

If you are looking for ways to store your cds and dvds in a decorative setting, this is the binder you are looking for.
The best thing about this binder is it looks like a book in my library; it is not too wide and it doesn't extend beyond the size of other books. It comes only in black though, I wish we could have more options.
