Clive, Why not line up all your CDs on a shelf, take digital photos of them, and stich them all together to make one wide image which you can scroll across with your head on one side? :) Or better still, pile them all up and make a very tall image which scrolls up and down showing you all your CDs. Of course, in an ideal world, you'd be able to click on the image and whatever CD you clicked on would play on your SB. I'm sure some clever person could make a flash app. that does just this. Well, the first part at least.
