I once did some experiments on how far away I could read a page of typical academic research paper text in various fonts with the same number of words per page. Palatino won easily. Gill Sans was the best of the sans-serif title fonts.

For doing songbooks I've found Microsoft's Comic Sans to be the best.

Neither obviously transfers to the more tabular layout of a typical CD, and if you really insist on white-on-blue it's anybody's guess what woulk work. But do some real experiments, don't just guess or believe what you're told. Almost nothing in graphic design is based on real data about usability, it's pompous self-promoting fluff from wannabe taste-makers (the absolute pits being the font designs used in TeX).
