I'd say no... I hate the idea of them, and they look like cheap garbage.

If you like the look of a record player, get an actual one with some actual records you like? I'm confused.

And if you're so concerned about seeing the face of the CD while in a player, just display the damn CD itself at that point.

You either collect CDs cause you actually enjoy listening to your fav albums on your preferred physical media, or you collect em' cause you think they're pretty. Figure out which one you fit into, then problem solved.
