I feel your pain. I have a similar situation but I only had  
about 2500 CDs at peak.  However, I've probably whittled it  
down to 2200; I went througha little phase of getting rid of  
dupes (which I was surprised I had!) ..and CDs that I was very  
confident that I wasn't going to bother with anymore.

I started to use Discogs to begin cataloging. My rule was "if I  
play a CD, then document it in Discogs".  I didn't get very  
far; maybe 8 CDs at most.  :(   ..and that was just in a span  
of a few weeks last year or so.

There once was a very fine app called Shelfie. With it, you  
could take pictures of the SPINE of any book, and it would  
produce a data-record of the cover, title, author, isbn code,  
publisher, etc.  It was truly very clever and convenient.  I  
could just take a picture of the books filed on a shelf (or  
just a pile of books on the floor or lined up in a box in my  
case) and it would produce a detailed list.

Something like that for CDs would be quite fine.
