Yes, you can screw into the edges of plywood for your CD boxes since there will
not be much stress on the butt joint. You also could simply glue the pieces
together with either yellow or white glue. You would need to clamp the pieces
for about an hour so that the glue would set up. then wait overnight for it to
cure before putting any stress on the joint.
