Atlantic 85012055 Disc Manager

I love my disc media; from Cd's to DVDs Blu-Rays even the forgotten SACD & HD DVDs. I love them since I purchased so many of each I also purchased a great player from the now out of business OPPO DIGITAL player to play all of my disc media. ( If you don't know who OPPO DIGITAL was I suggest you Google them and read up and feel bad for abandoning physical media in favor of the all digital media world; thanks Apple I Pod) Now speaking of that wonderful physical media that by the way won't corrupt or die unexpectedly this little holder is the key to organizing and shrinking the raw space they are known to occupy. With the disc storage manager it makes keeping them neat and tidy as well as easy to locate any of it depending on how you like to Index things. (Think invention of your own decimal system they made for books in the library before computers were the answer to all our problems think SOLAR FLARE/ ELECTROMAGNETIC PULSE, that by the way kills batteries but the data on a Blu-Ray remains) I have so many disc's of hard media I was filling 4 yes 4 of the large plastic bins that measure 4' long by 2' wide and 2.5' deep yep folks that's about 30 square feet in one of 4 boxes for a total of 120 square feet of space and if you look at the pictures that only just show 2 of these gems you can see I'm down to about 3 to 4 Sq feet total!!!!! Amazing right. The best part of this is that the holders only touch the sides of the disc's so you won't get scratches AT ALL. I've used these with no scratches to my media for more than 5 years. My only con I can attribute to this product is that they do not lock close in any way so care must be used in moving them around. If your crafty you can eliminate this issue. I back these holders 100% and only wish they had something similar for vinyl LP's. Great product if you still want to own hard media and grab them anywhere you can locate them. CHEERS ALL!¡!!¡!!!! DON'T LET HARD MEDIA DIE!!!!!! 1 more addition that I feel I must make to the 1 Star crowd addressing some of the issues. If you look though the reviews for ones with pictures you can find a really neat fix to the only real con this product has latching shut. A couple of well placed strong magnets in the corners of the lid will in fact solve the opening issue. To be fair this container was NOT designed to sit in a car and be jostled around; it was made to organize and reduce the sheer volume that discs and the holders take up. I can't buy that it was made to withstand the rigor of a car environment that things go everywhere and I mean everywhere. There is no need for a 1 star review if that is what you want from this product; if you want a car CD caddy buy one for the car not one designed very well I may add for strict home use, if one needs to travel cross country moving or what not than some tape will keep the door closed and thus the discs will never contact each other as when the cover is closed they are almost locked into place so tape em up if they are going on a rough trip very easy. If your handy the magnets idea is absolutely ingenuous bonus points to the reviewer that came up with that one!!!!! Great Job

I found these and I'm in love!! 386 discs, that's an ENTIRE bookcase of DVD's fit in these 5 compact holders. I've purchased 5 and my 6th one is on the way. And at only $20, you cannot beat the value. Each one holds 80 disc's, comes with instructions to their very easy to use website, where you go to input all of your movies and print out the card for the holder tray. It's so easy to use and so much easier to find your movies. Much better than flipping thru a suitcase style holder trying to find what you're looking for. It does not scratch the disc's either and they are very portable!! I have had no issues. I've just had to teach myself to close it gently. All of my holders are numbered and organized by genre. I've even printed out extra copies of the lists and made a type of movie glossary booklet. That way I can look thru the booklet then just go straight to the holder I need and instantly find what I'm looking for. Enjoy having your movies organized, easy to find and saving space!!!!

If you are looking for a disc manager look no further. At fifteen bucks and what this does is absolutely fantastic. It is well engineered, perfect size (smaller than the typical DVD case), it really works and even the box that it comes in is really cleaver. My collection is over 300 and took up a huge amount of room. Bite the bullet and chuck most of those plastic cases. I ordered two of these units so now 160 are securely packed away and easy to get to. I'm ordering two more. Make no mistake this storage really works and works very well. Now here's a suggestion. Each case comes with a drawer at the bottom which contains an index. The index is the most important part of the storage system because you can't really go through all the disks themselves to find the one you want. Of course you could hand print the index if you have microscopic handwriting. You can download new and free ones from the company website. But it's best to use a computer and use your computer's spreadsheet program and keep the sheets close by. There are enormous advantages in using a spreadsheet. First off each disk should be numbered with a marking pen. If using more than one case label the disks like: A1,A2...; B1, B2... etc. Then label the case itself. Now type in each disk onto the spreadsheet, with it's number, type of movie, actors, etc. You can even color the entries like RED for Christmas, BLUE for Broadway shows, etc. You can now get listings in any kind of category you want: by type of movie, date, actors, alphabetically, what ever. Remember this: The disks can be in any order, added to, changed, deleted. It's the index that's important. This is why using a computer to index your DVDs is important. You just can't get this much information on that little index supplied and you certainly don't want to print out corrections and changes over and over again. Just print out spreadsheet changes as they surface. Well, enjoy this terrific DVD storage system. It's really a lot of fun to use and will satisfy your "Organizational Nature."

Great product to store CDs, DVDs, or Disc video games. Sturdy and decent quality for what is on the market right now. Pro: You can fit 80 disc and can sort anyway you need, and has a list you can print to put into each container so you can easily retrieve the disc you want when needed. Con: This device doesn't snap shut or lock, so if it gets turned or tilted, your disc's will fall out, possibly break or get damaged. So care is required for storage of each disc drum, and must be on a flat surface. Also I knocked one start off, not because of product quality, but seller has a low limit of 3 device that can be purchased. I have a huge DVD collection and had to search out another place to finish purchasing the amout I needed to store my entire collection. I found Home Depo also carries this product for the same price with free shipping and I ordered the rest there. If I knew this beforehand, it would have been nicer just to place my entire order somewhere I could get the ammout I needed at one time. Sorting these in order then having to wait for the rest of the items you need to complete your task is not ideal.

This thing is really helpful to catalog and sort alot of CD's. I've been digitizing my vinyl album collection, after discovering that with Vinyl Studio I can get really spectacular sounding CD burns and cleanup of noise, and save my albums from further wear and tear. The only downside you might want to be aware of, is that the numbers on the indexing system are pretty small and hard to read for us older "boomers." But it safely grabs your CD for you and lifts it out. What you do is depress the button on the selector knob, then slide it to the right number and let go of the push switch, and then lift it by the selector and it opens up and is holding your CD for you to push the button to release as you pull it out, the instructions don't really show you how to do that. I wish it had a locking handle is one downside, if it ever falls its going to hit the floor and scatter CD's everywhere, I'm just going to use some blue tape to keep it closed. The other thing is that the online cataloging system to fill out the tray labeling system isn't the best, the type size won't let you enter titles of much length, so you have to abbreviate titles and artists too much. What I did was make a print PDF from their system, imported it into Adobe Illustrator and chose a condensed typeface of the right size so I can enter long titles and keep the catalog sheet on my own computer and not online somewhere.

** Edit : At the bottom of this review I'm going to address some of the one star reviews. I don't usually do this but I was taken aback by some of them and thought they should be addressed. ** This thing has a very simple mechanism that I can't see failing. It's just a small, spring loaded protrusion that holds the disc in place as you open the case. As such, there is no contact with the face or label side of the disc. I do suggest loading it in a well lit area 'cause those slots are really close together and everything is black (maybe a white or gray plastic interior would have been better) and it's tough to make sure you're not skipping a slot when you're initially filling it. I also suggest checking your index number every 15 to 20 discs to make sure you're still lined up. I haven't used (or even gone to) their website to print an index so I can't say anything on that. In my situation I have close to 400 discs so I'm using 5 cases and wanted to be able to find my discs easily across all 5 cases. So I just made a spreadsheet so I can resort it any time I add a disc so the list of titles remains alphabetical and all you have to do is see which case and slot the movie is in. If this were done on the site then you would be printing individual indexes for each case and would have to pull out each one and look through the listing of movies for one case at a time. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to save space in their DVD collection. As a side note, if you're someone like me and you want to save your sleeve inserts, then you can find plastic sleeves online that perfectly fit the cover art from DVD cases. I, personally, just went with regular sheet protectors $0.88 for a 20 pack at my local big box outlet. I drop the cover art in those along with any other inserts and I pop them into a 2" D ring binder. I suspect each binder will hold about 120 to 160 covers. 1 star reviews : "Plastic is cheap" - The unit feels solidly built to me and had some weight to it before I put discs in. "CDs rattle around" - The slots are about 1.5 times the thickness of a disc. If they weren't then the discs would be super difficult to insert and would get stuck. Mine is sitting on my shelf right now and the discs aren't rattling around. If you shake it, sure. "No way to lock it closed" - This one is accurate. There is no catch to latch it closed. Be careful when handling it. "The CD edges rub together" - No, they don't. They are spaced apart by a small ridge that is half the thickness of a disc. The discs never touch each other unless you're doing something wrong and the case NEVER touches any of the writable area of the disc. "It only holds 1/5 of my CDs" - If you owned 5 cars and you built a 1 car garage, would you complain that it only held 1/5 of your cars? You knew how many CDs you owned and you knew the capacity of the case. That's not a reason for a bad review (Unless you're reviewing your lack of mathematical skills) "Not simple to work" - You press a button, move a slider, let go and open a case. Not too difficult there. "Unless you know the exact order you're putting your disks in and which number you're placing it in, good luck finding it" - Did you miss the part where there is a tray that slides out of the bottom and has an index card that lets you write down what disc is in what slot? And if you place your discs in the desired order before putting them in the case then there's no problem. Disc destroyed? Changing the order? Their website has templates for the index card so you can print new ones. "CD's get stuck" - How in the world are you getting your discs stuck? I'm starting to think people are cramming two discs into one slot or something. The mechanism on this device is incredibly simple. I can't imagine how a disc could get stuck. "Price gouging at $25 for a few oz of recycled plastic" - 1) it's $19.95 now 2) You say you are "still loving this product" so the poor PRODUCT review is because of price, not function. 3) You've obviously never purchased a cell phone if you think $25 is too much for a few oz of recycled materials. "Won't pick up discs" - Literally the only things that could fail in this regard are 1) The small spring somehow broke so the "claw" that lifts the disc doesn't protrude anymore or 2) You somehow managed to break said "claw" off. (Pro tip : There is a tiny "claw/finger/tab" that sticks out under the disc you've chosen, you then pull the disc out to use it. When replacing the disc you should drop it down into the slot and not try to push it back in at the top as that could damage the "claw." Pro tip 2 : Press the release button down and keep it down when moving the slider. Otherwise you'll be raking the "claw" across the discs potentially damaging it and the discs. "I bought two of these. The first was perfect. The second one is missing the tray that identifies the discs" - Okay, so you admit that the item is perfect. It functions well, etc. But you're giving ONE STAR because of a random issue that could have been a manufacturing or assembly issue and could, I'm sure, be easily rectified by simply contacting the company or seller. "Discs constantly get stuck on the lid" - HOW? Seriously, what ARE you people doing to these things? 1.5x disc thickness for the slots and .5x thickness for dividers. I'm not going to do the math but I'm going to bet that it's physically impossible for the disc to lean at a sufficient angle to wedge into the next slot over. And aside from that I'm actually wondering if they're unaware that the organizer works by "sticking: (holding) the selected disc against the top of the case for removal. "Returned it . . hard to find discs" - Did you use the catalog? "We didn't care for the product. We returned it. Everyone has different preferences, we prefer the cloth zipper cases. Even though it didn't work for us, it doesn't mean that it won't work for others... just depends on what you like." - So you prefer cloth cases but you bought something you don't like. Then, because of your personal preference, you give a product 1 star that has nothing to do with the product or its funtionality. "This thing is all plastic, feels like its going to break and I feel like it will scratch my discs" - Oh! The feels! DID it break? DID it scratch your discs? Or did you just FEEL like it would? It's obvious from the pictures, description, and price that it's "all plastic" (except for the metal spring and the paper index card of course.) And it physically can't scratch your discs due to how it's built. No part of it ever touches the writable area of the disc. "They only send you one sheet to fill out" - I'm getting confused here. These things are made to organize your discs. How often do you re-organize your discs and need a new index sheet? If you're doing that then use a spreadsheet. Faster, easier to edit, and you can sort it. (I, for instance, have several of these organizers so I've labeled them A, B, C, etc. I use them for DVDs. I have a spreadsheet that has the name of the DVD, the Genre, the Rating, the Running time, and the location (B-17, C-58 etcetera.) I print four lists. One sorted by title, one by genre, one by rating, one by running time. And the location sorts along with everything else. So after I've added a few movies and want to reprint my lists, I just add the movies to the case with space in it, mark their location and add that to the spreadsheet. We are living in the 21st century, right? Excel has been around for a few decades? "One star" "This produce meets me need." - It meets your needs but gets a one star rating. "not in anyway automatic, it's 100% manual. Do not recommended, a binder is better than this." - Nowhere does this product say it's automatic. How would this even BE automatic? "Hey Google, get my Symphony And Metallica disc out for me" And people confuse me...A binder is better than this...So many reviews with the FEELS saying it FEELS like it's going to scratch the disc. I've used those "better binders" and after inserting and extracting a disc a dozen times they don't just FEEL like they're going to scratch your disc, they DO scratch it.

Great storage option if, like me, you don't want to be overrun by dvd cases or the zip up disc cases that seem to never hold enough. I like the design, it is very sleek and it has a very smooth opening movement. The disc pick up is easy and doesn't scratch the discs. The little tray with numbered spots to label where which discs are is great for keeping track of em. I will definitely buy another one in the future when i inevitably acquire more cds and dvds. It definitely takes up much less space than any other option i have come across, nicer to look at as well.

We love this item (the Atlantic 85012055 Disc Manager 80 Disc Storage Device)! We have a bad habit of taking movies out to watch them and then just stacking them loosely in a stack by the television, so the disks are at risk of getting dirty and scratched and are not at all organized of course. We looked at various options for storage and settled on trying this method, as we didn't want a chunky "binder" of DVDs and we suspected that we wouldn't be any more inclined to keep them organized with a binder. With this method, you insert your DVDS (or CDs or both) in to the slots (there are grooves along the inside bottom that the DVDs easily rest in). When you want a DVD, you pinch the little lever that is attached to the top cover and slide it to the number of the DVD that you want (with the lid closed at the time) and release your pinch and the DVD is "grabbed" inside of the unit and you then lift the lid of the unit and the DVD has been "lifted" out away from the others. The bottom half that the DVDs sit in has numbers listed along the bottom edge, so that you know where to release the lever. The number are listed by two's, which I assume is simply to conserve space. Nonetheless, it is still easy to identify whether you are selecting 2 vs.3, for example. The organizer comes with a slide-out tray on which to keep a list of the DVDs and you can hand write on it or you can follow the included instructions and register on a site and use the existing templates available to print a list from your computer. It takes just a little work to set up because you have to write/enter all of the titles. We alphabetized ours before creating the list, but I think that the templates might also alphabetize the titles for you, if you just enter them in any order and then sort them alphabetically online using the template (I'm not positive on this, though). Once the list is printed, it slides under a cover on the bottom tray, so that it does not get dirty, begin rolling up or anything like that. We also used circle "yard sale" stickers and put the numbers 1-80 on the circles and put a numbered sticker on each DVD, so that we know at a glance where to return the DVD to (i.e., which slot) in the organizer without having to consult the list on the tray. If you are more disciplined than us and do not leave any DVDs out of the organizer, then it would be easy enough to lift the lid and visually see which slot is "open" and where to return the DVD if no others have been removed too. We also copied the DVD cover images for our movies to a spreadsheet/Microsoft Word table and numbered them correspondingly and cheaply had a little book made/bound at a local UPS store, so that our little ones could thumb through the book and pick out DVDs by seeing the covers/titles in the book. Again, a little setup work, but it has been so practical and very useful since we implemented it! My spouse seemed to think at first that it wasn't a "necessary" change, but he has since said, "This is so much better!" Not only are the DVDs more organized and stored more responsibly, but our children are happy to look through a book and pick out movies rather than relying on us to thumb through stacks calling out random titles. They can even access the disks on their own even though they can not yet read, as they simply need to match the numbers from the titles in the book to the numbers on the organizer. They seem to watch a larger variety of movies now.

s una solución bastante buena, pero no tanto como otras que había en el mercado. La ausencia de mecanismo de bloqueo es un gran fallo. Si puedes encontrar el Box81 de MediaRange, cómpralo. Es mejor en todos los aspectos: Cierre/apertura suave y bloqueo para el transporte. This is a pretty good solution but not as good as others that used to be on the market. No locking mechanism is a big miss. If you can find MediaRange's Box81, buy that instead. It's better all round: Soft close/open and it locks for carrying.

Ich bin bisher mit allen Bestellungen sehr zufrieden. Nur eines ist mir unklar, warum gibt es keine 100er Boxen mehr? Ich hätte sie notwendiger gebraucht.

Great little item to keep your CDs,DVD, Blu-Rays, games organized and safe. I used this to store my old movies and games and get rid of the bulk of all those cases. The pull out list for your CD's makes it super easy to find the one your looking for. Will definitely be picking up a couple more in the future
