We are about to embark on the same project. At this point, we have had to confront the same dilemma with our blossoming DVD collection.
So far, we have chosen what seems to be the least expensive route that still allows for some security (as our library is accessible even when unstaffed). As you mentioned, we display the empty DVD cases on the shelves. The DVDs (or CDs) themselves are placed in a loose-leaf binder in pages that are designed to hold these type of discs. Since DVD cases are larger than CD cases, we plan to purchase either a shelf insert or other type of display option that will better hold CD cases. If you find a way to search for particular songs without having to catalog it in yourself, please let us know!
