Sergei: go for it!  It should be possible to do something with the
machine's webcam and Processing:

  http://processing.org/

plus some OCR. The search domain could be kept smaller by cross-
referencing potential CD/Album title matches with FreeDB to look up the
contents of a CD once you have the initial name match.  Or perhaps
initially ask the user to wave the album barcode to the computer.

A 'unity-physical-bookshelf-lens' sounds a very interesting possibility
with lots of opportunity for R&D into how centralised search could fit
with enabling the user to find information more easily.
