I’m sizing the drawers for DVDs, which does involve a bit of DIY. I have no doubt that the CDs and DVD-As are going to have some side gaps, which might be used for some of those uniquely-packaged collections like Harry Chapin’s Story of a Life.
Yep I've got a few of those odd-ball sized CD cases too, like slightly oversized cardboard sleeves, won't fit in my CD shelves I had made back in '87, or rather cut at a local wood shop. I sanded them and glued them together, and oiled the walnut, high school shop class style. Don't have access to the proper equipment to do cuts like that.
I understand. I started woodworking when I retired, so I have the equipment to make the various cuts necessary. My drawers will be a tight three DVDs/Blu-rays and a loose four CDs/DVD-As. Loose enough for the occasional oddball package.
The high school I went to unfortunately didn't offer any electronics courses so I took wood shop, and study hall. I'd get a library pass from study hall and I'd study all right.. Audio, Hi Fi/Stereo Review later to become Stereo Review, High Fidelity, Radio-Electronics. Popular Electronics, Electronics Illustrated, Popular Science... They had a nice library of magazines!Dadoes and Rabbets and Dovetails, Oh My!

I replaced the first video with one I think is better and a little longer. I'm not moving around quite as much . Taken same day Oct 2 2021. Replied to myself (?) to bump it up.

I’ve learned to live with not knowing what day it is but it’s rather stressful not knowing where something I want to listen can be found.
You got that right!
I had a quarter of woodshop in the 7th grade. My high school had a course called “Electronics” but it was a shop class and the teacher really wanted to teach auto shop. And, at the time, I was probably more interested in ham radio than in hi-fi. Let’s just say Paul Simon’s first line of “Kodachrome” was right. Totally unprepared for college.
There’s an oldies station in town that plays the tag line: “You can’t remember why you walked into the room, but you know the words to the next song.” Oooh, yeah.
Yep!I won’t be done until I’m dead.

My dad was an electronics engineer, so that helped some, although his work-life balance was badly out of whack during those years, so I didn’t get to learn much tech from him. I did learn that the magic of electronics could be mastered, even if it took me an extra decade to do so.
Every home I owned, I modified, so carpentry was a skill I developed over the hears, and have been using extensively in our latest home. Fortunately, I have a decent sized garage and a bonus room so I have a place to work and a place to work on. I won’t be done until I’m dead.
Monarchs seem to have disappeared from southern Idaho for the past several years. I know their numbers are plummeting. We’re planting milkweed to attract them, but so far we haven’t seen any. Nice to see some, even if not in person.
I think they all moved to Texas! Have seen a few here already but the big migration south won't start until Sept.
The answer is surprisingly complicated. The copyright in the musical compositions (aka the songs) is the same as the album, so 95 years from publication in the USA, 70 from release in the EU and most other places.
