Is your "Enobox" falling apart?

Imagine my dismay when, after not playing the two Eno boxes in some time, I find that the digipak glue has seeped out, wrecking the inside of the boxes as well as the digipaks. Anybody else have this problem? And what can I do about it, aside from whining to people I've never met?

Eno Box 1 is losing it's glue yet Eno Box 2 is holding up. Avoid humidity or if you're really daring attempt to reglue yourself with industrial adhesives.

This the third or fourth incidence of this that I've heard about -- sounds like you definitely want to pull the digipaks out of the box and store them separately (that is, if you can still do that).

This is the bummer about digipaks -- if the spindle breaks or if the cardboard gets damaged, you're screwed. . .

This happened to my Dusty Springfield box set.

it's almost as bad as owning a record!

Isn't that part of the whole concept?

I was kind of bummed by the shoddy quality of the digipaks in the Grateful Dead box set... the plastic trays and booklets (at least in my copy) are glued pretty crookedly, and it's kind of weird to see the splotches of glue underneath each corner of the (transparent) trays.

I think digipaks are cool in general, but the modular quality of jewel boxes has always been a very welcome feature.

one of the 4 digi-packed cd in the joy division box dropped out on me on my way somehwere from 'm' to 't'

so i actually lost the first cd, ie the early warsaw stuff and 'unkown pleasures' (which will have to remain an unknown pleasure, always my wistful intention with that album to wait until i needed some 'new' joy division, so life can be artful i suppose)

so hey, be careful, the cosmetics of these crap packages is annoying but trivial compared to how you feel when you actually lose one of those box set cds, cds that are not so easy to replace on their own
