Bruce has a good solution, I think. I have a stack of jewel cases that are left over from something. Disks I got rid of but kept the cases, whatever. I could easily take the disk he sends and the cover art intended for a jewel case and make use of one of the spares here.

They make a more silicone or rubbery case that folds and is self-hinged. They are slim, but don't have any way to label or put cover art in. And I've always wondered if, since they're a little softer, if they might not have some slight off-gas potential that might harm CDs over the long run. I use those if I have to transport CDs and don't want to break the hard plastic cases, but the brittle cases are less likely to have the off-gas problem.

Don, I wish Dad had been able to see this stash of CDs I found at that garage sale--he'd have simultaneously cringed at the idea of how they were let go, and been pleased that I found them. Imagine taking all of the CDs in your collection, lumping them into a big plastic box and taking them to a charitable organization, where someone who knows nothing about them letting them go for a song. (Pardon the pun!) It's their loss that they didn't see the value, but I suspect the gentleman who died and left these wonderful disks behind is resting more quietly since they ended up with a very appreciative owner. He may have taught music classes, because there are several versions of quite a number of pieces, as if he used them to show the difference between interpretations or conductors, etc. He kept all of his in jewel cases, and for some reason, had the cover art and liner notes stored opposite of the way I use them. Maybe a left hand vs right hand thing, or something to do with how he stored them. He put titles on them if one wasn't clear on the spine of the case.
