Abstract: A high capacity motorized rack holds a plurality of jewel case enclosed CDs in holders flexibly inter-connectable with each other to form a rotatable continuous loop. The loop is rotatably retained within a vertical rack housing and is driven by a motor, disposed within the housing, under user control such that the loop is rotated until a desired CD is moved to the top region of the belt. A rack may hold two or more such loops of inter-connected holders. In one embodiment a holder retains a single jewel case, and comprises two independent loops that are rotated with a single motor. A preferred embodiment employs inter-connectable holders that each retain two jewel cases in a side-by-side configuration. A lamp and/or barcode scanner may be disposed on the housing for ease of CD selection. The housing base preferably is detached during shipping to permit transporting the rack in a smaller volume container. User control can include voice commands to direct loop rotation and speed.

Abstract: A device for storing media comprises at least one frame module having a support surface adapted for receiving media thereon, a peripheral ledge around the support surface for preventing the media on the support surface from sliding off therefrom. The frame module also has a support structure for allowing the frame module to support another frame module similar thereto in a stacked relationship, such that the device is modular and expandable. The device also includes a cover module for covering the support structure of an uppermost one of the frame modules. Labels each having respective reference indicia thereon are each adapted to be secured to a respective one of the media, with a reference list being provided to receive information relating to a content of each one of the media in relation to the reference indicia on the label secured thereto, whereby the media in the device are classified. The device is open along both sides thereof extending between end walls of the frame module such that media can be removed from or inserted in the device from two opposite sides.
