A compact disc and data cartridge storage has a base, a back, a front and first and second opposite sides. A plurality of parallel ribs extend along a rear portion of the base and a lower portion of the back for separating stored data packages. The base has a rear portion and a front portion respectively sloped rearward and forward from a center line which extends between the sides. The front portion is longer than the rear portion. Ribs extend upward from the front and rear position to guide and separate the data packages. In one form, the ribs extend fully along the back portion and partially along the front portion for storing tall and thin objects between the ribs, leaning against the back portion with centers of gravity rearward of the central ridge before tipping selected thin objects forward and moving the center of gravity forward of the central ribs and allowing the thin objects to slide downward along the front portion of the base while held vertically between the ribs. In one form, the ribs have a series of alternate short profile ribs and tall profile ribs. The short profile ribs are positioned nearest the sides and tall profile ribs are positioned intermediate the short profile ribs, with one more short profile rib than tall profile rib.
