Love our 120HD!! Love the smaller 100!! My previous 120HD came with the literature album that had the harder shell you slide the album into. This kept it nice and neat, just as easy to access, and kept it dust free. This is no longer being offered and I'm extremely dissapointed! What is being offered now is flimsy, 1 out of 3 actually stands up on it's own, and its not safe from dust and plain ugly. I now have to add small book ends to hold them up. What a crock... not happy. Because of this small move to save .05/ album I'll do all I can to search for an alternative product to the 120HD and 100. The moment someone make a nice one I'll give these away. Please bring back the previous literature album all of us aggree to be the better product.

When I began purchasing the Selector 120 came in red. I actually have four of them that hold my DVD collection. However, I am always buying new movies and would more than likely keep buying the Selector 120 (in red of course). I recently purchased 4 of the Discgear 100 Auto for my CD collection, but they did not come with the albums. Therefore, I had to buy the albums separately. The new albums are without the hard cover shell which held them together and better protected the discs (a change not for the better). A great product without question, but they should have left a good thing alone.

Just went to order more of these and read a review that states Discgear no longer puts these albums in the hard plastic cases. I hope that is not true, as the hard shell it what keeps the plastic sleeves and their contents protected. Has anyone else received a literature album that does not have the hard shell? I like their product, but definitely want the protective hard shell.

I owned 6 of these - 1 for every Studio 100 that I own (an amazing product that discgear discontinued even though there is a ton of demand for it!). I just ordered another one of these and they sent me a model that does NOT have a black hard plastic holder. Instead, it has an elastic wrap-around to keep it together. This means there's nothing to keep it standing on its own, the sleeves are now all exposed on the top, and it doesn't look nearly as good. When I complained that I didn't get what I ordered, I was told this was done so it would take up less space[...], but now it's no longer what I want. Unfortunately discgear hasn't updated their product photos for this here or anywhere else. Be wary before buying!

These Literature Albums help me and other family members keep track of all our movies and makes it easier to locate the movies we want. I have 2 that hold 120 disc information, however I see you only offer Albums with 100 capability now. Still they are the best thing since Chocolate Milk. Will recomend to everyone.

We now have 4 literature albums and matching Discgear selectors. Each Album has a different colored dot on it, with a matching color dot on the appropriate selector. We used to have stacks of DVD cases piled everywhere, and could never find the movie we wanted. Discgear has changed all of this. Our children in there 20's are all impressed and have converted to discgear to hold their CD's, computer software, and DVDs.

I bought the 100s to store smaller groups of CD/DVDs rather than the 120s. It works as well as the 120 and has a different look. The price was right too as they were on sale. However they did not come with the albums. When the albums were back in stock I ordered them. I like the way they organize my CD/DVDs.

I HAVE 3 UNITS,2-100 AND 1-80. OMG THEY ARE WONDERFUL! I USE THEM FOR MOVIES AND MUSIC. THEY SAVE SO MUCH SPACE NOT BEING IN THEIR ORIGINAL CASES, BECAUSE OF THE SLEEK CYLINDER SHAPE IT MAKES IT EASIER TO STORE WHEN YOU HAVE LIMITED SPACE.THE BOOKS ARE GREAT FOR PUTTING THE MOVIE COVERS IN. THE LISTS MAKE FINDING A MOVIE OR CD SO QUICK AND EASY. SORRY CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING WRONG WITH

Comments:
The literature album has fixed sheets. This is fine if you have a set collection. I have three 120 selectors. I am constantly adding DVDs to my collection. I have to keep shifting the DVD literature in and out of the sleeves to keep them in alphabetical order. I think the literature album would be better if it was in a three ring binder format so you could keep the literature in the sleeve when rearranging. Some of the sleeves have begun to split from moving literature in and out of sleeves when rearranging.

I use the album to store the covers of my CD's and DVD's. This way I can see what songs are on the discs. One suggestion: It would be helpful to have suggestions on how to label. I got a little confused on how the ABC works.
