I'm thinking of moving my CDs into the attic now I have everything ripped as FLACs. Having been up there in the summer I've realised how hot it gets up there. Is it really a good place to put them?


I'd say no. When I was working out where to keep my servers I surveyed the temperature in my attic. In hot summer days the temperature was easily topping 45C during the day and dropping to under 20C overnight. That range of temperature change over a few hours is going to be death for a CD, the different layers are going to contract and expand at different rates.

The most stable temperature range of any place in the house that I found was the understairs cupboard. That wasn't any use for my servers though, as once you put a server in there for a few hours the temperature climbed to silly levels (unsurprsingly). It would be idea for CDs though.
