Has anyone used this to store LPs? I was curious what the success rate for that use is?

I haven't used it for LPs. But it would be doable. However, unlike most record storage cubes, the sides aren't straight up and down (they are slanted). That might not be a problem, though. (And Rattique does make a straight-sided version: http://www.amazon.com/Whitmor-6500-1716-JAVA-Rattique-Storage-Crate/dp/B00J0K50X8/.) I just tucked an LP into the one I own. The basket is rectangular, and it fits fine on the long side with a little room to spare. (The handles are on the shorter sides). You could get a pretty good collection of records in there. Do be aware that (like the sides) the bottom is woven, not a completely flat surface, so it might make impressions on the bottom of your LPs over time. I don't know - but it might. The basket isn't heavy so if you have a lot of LPs in it, you might want to put the basket up against a wall or piece of furniture to keep it from tipping backwards when records are against the back of it. I hope this helps!

This one works best for CDs. There is another tower made the same way for DVDs. I have several of each in an effort to make the most of the storage capacity.

Oh wow, that's a great idea! Are you talking about lp albums? What size? If u give me the size of your albums I will measure to see if they will fit standing up?! They would fit lying down flat but that's not a good way to store vinyl

I would not use it for vinyl records. It can be used for CDs, and DVDs storage.

Sorry that I cannot help. This was a gift for my GRANDAUGHTER. She loves it but hasn't used it for recording old LPs.

I use mine vertically - have the top half packed full of records and only a handful on bottom and its held just fine. Go for it!

I bought this for my record collection. I have roughly 100+ records and the chest could easily fit another 100. It's a decent size if you're looking to store small collectibles. If you're using for real storage, there's probably something bigger for you.

I was able to fit ~40 LPs. Some were single, some were doubles. If you've got mostly singles you'll definitely be able to fit more than 50.

Sorry have not really used it for that purpose. As a basic turntable it is quite functional.

Works just fine for storing mp3 or .wav files. It can be accessed for individual playback..beyond that, no idea.

As long as one has the proper audio playback software then one should be able to transfer the LP's to a PC. I have a turntable which I specifically purchased for that reason, and I was able to transfer some songs. The turntable can with the RCA jacks connected,but I also have the option of using a USB cable. If I had wanted to use the RCA-to-USB option, I'm sure it would've worked just as easily as my other connection options. Good luck.

A more urgent question is: will this unit safely stay on top of your speaker. That would depend on how wide your speaker is. Im assuming it is a floor speaker at least and not a bookshelf speaker. If it can stay on top of it then I wouldn't worry too much about your records as they should be able to stay in place. But I don't know for sure as I don't currently have this type of setup.

I use mainly to record my own CDs from other CDs, albums, 45s and cassettes. The few times I have recorded from computer to CD, I have had no issues

Yes, you can use this item this way. I too used one of these units in this manner for quite awhile, and as mentioned I used wood glue as well. These are fairly strong for the material that thy are made of. I think it will not hold as many LPs this way as it would horizontally. I collect mostly Japanese pressings with their OBI's intact. These are the albums I had in this module when I used it vertically. I also had it full, but not packed for about 6 months, but I had mine beside my salamander stand , not on top of a speaker. Not sure if the vibrations might cause failure, but it will work vertically. Yes, you can use this item this way.

I haven't used the LP, but I don't really think it would be a big deal to use one over the other. The LP might be easier to fit into a bag.

Did it workout for you.Also, if I use this producy, will I have 2GB on top of the 2GB already in the player? Or is this for one set of songs and the one in the player another set?
