Processing CDs and DVDs

We have used a couple of different types of audio cases. In both instances we trim the box in which the audio book was purchased. One of the cases will hold 2-4 CDs and is about the size of a DVD case -- we attach the trimmed cover to a piece of black paper which is cut to fit inside the clear cover of the audio CD case. The other case is more square and will hold more CDs in sleeves. Again, we trim the original box to fit inside the clear outer sleeve. We place an ownership label, spine label, and barcode on the original box cover before inserting it into the clear sleeve. Works very well and can be placed on shelves just like we shelve books, but not with the books.
If you use pockets and cards, you can attach the pocket inside the front of the case -- or just put the card inside the case. It works!
I believe in using all that expensive artwork on the original box and not making more work trying to make a new cover!
I'll see if I can make some pictures to demonstrate, but it may be a few days!
