A multi-media storage tray for storing mixed media items such as compact discs, audio tapes Sega cartridges and Nintendo cartridges and video tapes. Dividers are located on a two-level (top and lower) divider support. The dividers and the divider supports are arranged so that the tray can be essentially filled with any combination of the above mixed media. A set of first dividers located on the top level and spaced about 1 inch apart accommodates approximately 1-inch wide video tape cases. A set of second dividers on the lower level and spaced about 1.4 inches apart accommodates two approximately 0.7-inch wide cases for audio tapes or Sega cartridges or Nintendo cartridges in between each two successive second dividers. A set of third dividers two of which are spaced between each two successive second dividers provides three 0.41-inch wide spaces between each two successive second dividers to accommodate the width of compact disc cases. The divider supports are arranged parallel to each other so that vertical walls connecting the lower level to the top level are about 4.85 inches (the length of a standard compact disc case) apart. The third dividers extend from the walls about 0.25 inch so as to provide a boundary (4.85 inches minus 0.5 inch) on the second level to accommodate the approximate 4.3-inch length of the cases for audio tapes and Sega and Nintendo cartridges.
