Why sketchy? Did you get a home-burned CD-R version? It would
be very easy to tell the difference between a commercial CD and
a CD-R.
Speaking of CD displays, I remember seeing a really clever
"artistic" approach for home use. Instead of storing CDs in
cabinets or towers, the mechanism permitted snapping a CD case
in a matrix/grid on the wall. And depending on one's takes at
the time, the mix/match of the cases would change over time
too. I thought that was a beautiful way to enjoy favourite CD
art either while it's playing or "just because".
