Music To Your Ears
Packing
Remove any CDs, cassettes, albums, and DVDs from the stereo or storage cabinet. Keep in mind records are heavy and should be packed in small cartons.
If records are not in jackets, wrap individually in tissue paper or plastic wrap to protect them from being scratched.
Stand compact discs and records on edge, never flat, on a layer of crushed paper.
Support at both ends with a large, hardcover book or several pieces of cardboard cut to fit. Top with another layer of crushed paper. Identify contents on the outside of the box and mark "FRAGILE."
Cassette tapes should be placed in the protective plastic box in which they came, if possible, and then wrapped individually in crumpled paper. Place individual tapes either vertically or horizontally on a couple of layers of crushed paper.
