But there is a great way to avoid that problem:

Buy a big CD changer (or 2, or 3) and leave your CD's in there all the time.
I have a 400 changer with about 5 spare slots (yup, time for another),
control from PC (and I use the db for insurance inventory as well) and the
CD's only come out to go in the car (or to school, but that's another story)

Found this on the usenet CD FAQ:

"A warning about some double-disc jewel cases can be found
at http://www.yoyo-tricks.com/CompUSA-WARNING.html (along
with pictures). Apparently the pressure exerted on the hub
causes cracks to appear over time. If a disc with a cracked
hub is put into a high-speed drive, it may shatter."
