High Bobcat, this is John. That sounds like a neat idea. However, ever cense the early ninetys whitch is when I lost my eyesite, I've been using a brail labler and olheatsive labling tape to label my CDs. I would not just lable the cases, I would lable the CDs too as well. But if they have an idea that's better then mine, then I'm all ears. John Price.
