Product Description

The CD Organizer allows you to store and organize all of your CD's (Music, Video, DVDs, CDRs, CDRWs, Game CDs and more). With Organizer, no more stacks or scattered piles to sort through and jewel cases to store. No more searching all around your workspace, the large plastic static racks or countless sleeves wondering where to find your disks. Instead of loading applications, games or other disks onto your hard drive, you can now leave them on the disk without fear of not being able to locate them when needed. The CD Organizer uses a USB connection so setup is quick and easy. No special cables or added hardware required. The software is easy to use and requires almost no learning curb. No complicated commands or interfaces to figure out. A keypad is provided on the top of the CD Organizer, which offers access without use of your PC.

CD Organizer Works Well With Appropriate Circumstances.......2006-04-15

I have had my KDS CD Organizer for about 5 years now. I have used the organizer on Windows 2000, Windows 2000 Server, and Windows XP Professional. I love it and would have a hard time using anything else.

That being said, I have found some quirks and inconsistencies with the product.

First off, if your computer only has USB 2.0 ports invest in a USB 1 card. For some reason the organizer doesn't perform well while connected to a USB 2.0 port.

Secondly, you need to obtain the last released version of the software; version 4.0.2. This software can be found at:

Lastly, Backup your CD Organizer Database often. The software has included backup/restore/repair utilities that work quite well.

Once all of these circumstances have been met, this product works great.

Real Shame.......2005-10-13

It's a Shame that so many people can't get the CD Organizers to work, how ever I can't see what the Problems they are having are. I've run these on 98, 2000 and XP with no Problems, I have three of them but could use more. I've never had a Problem with XP Drivers, or the Systems not working the way they were supposed to, although I did have a Database error once, but if you rename the file to .MDB and run the access repair routine, it fixed the problem, and I just renamed it back.

I spoke with customer service rep at 800-283-1311. Devices have a one-year warranty. I stated that I sent in the Registration card, and asked if she would look up the purchase date. She said no, "Registration and Warrany are in different departments."

She asked me to hold, and came back on the line stating that since this model originally sold in 2003, my unit went off warranty in 2004 unless I have the invoice. I called back about an hour later, after finding the invoice, and got the same customer service rep. She recognized me and belittled me for calling back and said unless I have a question, there's nothing they can do. I stated that I found the invoice as requested and she asked me to fax it to her. I did that, so far no response. We'll see if they replace the unit or not.

Just an FYI...after the one-year warranty, there are no options. The do not offer parts or service after the one-year warranty.

Good product, flimsy mechanism.......2004-10-28

I purchased this product about 1 year ago. I also have the same problem; doesn't eject tray. I opened and found that the tray eject mechanism is motor, plastic gear and "rubber band". That rubber band was broken. I tried to find the replacement rubber band but it's small size and should be tough. I called custermer service for requesting the rubber band but they simply don't have any part. I looked for tough rubber band and Radio Shack has mini RC car tire! That's really tough and almost the same size but a little bit thick. Anyway, it works fine for several months. If you have this organizer, it's not too difficult to replace the rubber band and I believe the mini RC tire will never broke.

Out of production - No Support.......2004-06-27

This was a great idea but there are a few problems. First the software works on Win 98 & 2000 only - NOT XP. Second, the software is full of bugs. Three, there is no support or updates as the company's U.S. web site is gone. Too bad. If it only worked.
