Abstract
A media storage organizer and method as disclosed relate to a storage device for attachment to a support structure to hold a collection of media objects in a side-by-side generally upright manner. At least one organizer mount secures a media object support transversely to the support structure and helps the support to move along a path of travel generally parallel to the plane of the media objects. A stop limits the forward movement of the support to a display position. In one embodiment, at lease one retainer may be disposed above the media object support and spaced from an end thereof for engaging a media object to help limit the number of media objects positioned on the media object support. The retainer enables the media object to lean at an angle over the retainer against the support structure while engaging the retainer, thereby providing a gap between two portions of the collection of media objects to facilitate viewing of the faces of a media object at the gap and to facilitate flipping of the media objects about their bottom edges for media object selection purposes.
