Abstract An adapter for storing a compact disc in a gramophone record sleeve or box. Typically, the adapter is in the form of an insert for snug fitment in a record sleeve and comprises means for holding a compact disc. Thus, a preferred adapter is in the form of a pressed or moulded plastics sheet (1) designed to be fitted in a record sleeve. The sheet (1) has a central recess (4) defined by sidewalls (5a-5d, 6a-6d) to receive the compact disc. The recess (4) is provided with a stud (10) onto which the compact disc is press or snap fitted. Alternatively resilient means may be provided to grip the rim of the compact disc.
