  Determine what type of CD rack fits the type of CD buyer you are. If you are an extensive collector usually adding hundreds of CDs to your collection each year, a basic 100-CD rack will not be sufficient for you. However, if you only have about 50 or so CDs just so you can have your favorite songs, a small rack would be the smartest buy. Determine your quantity.
