Yes, and it hasn’t come up in this thread.
When people were concerned about disk space, I did a calculation of the cost of disk per album vs. the cost of storing jewel cases in an IKEA Billy bookcase, including the cost of the floor space in your house or apartment.
Storing jewel cases was 100X more expensive than the hard drive cost.
And this was three years ago, since then disk cost has gone down and housing cost has gone up.
RIP ‘em and toss them or put them in the basement or garage or somewhere cheap. Bury a chest in the garden…
