Abstract
A novel and improved rotatable CD and other cartridge storage carousel having a cylindrical shape that rotates about a vertical axis to display the CDs or other cartridges in a horizontal plane for easy identification and selective removal by the user. The carousel consists of a number of tiers formed by spacers each containing several storage compartments; the tiers are mounted on a rotating base turntable. The depth of each spacer and tier may be varied to allow for storage of varying size cartridges.
