I always thought it was kinda cool how programs such as iTunes  
could fetch the CD title/tracks/cover from imdb ..and therefore  
make it very easy to build a printable list.  But there still  
remains doing that for each and every CD.  I would imagine that  
the process would take atleast 2 minutes per CD.  At 3000 CDs,  
that's 10hrs of work not counting interruptions or a failed  
search.

A few years ago there was a really cool app that allowed one to  
take a picture of a book's spine, identify the book and produce  
a database entry for it on your phone. It was called BitLit and  
then Shelfie.  You could even take a photo of a stack of book  
spines and it would return a list.  Very slick.  Something like  
that would be helpful for your CD piles!  :D
