I already use one as a coaster. Should have submitted my idea before haha
I like the xmas tree idea!
Might just do the wallpaper idea also.

I used to have them hanging on my wall that was funky

Haha I still use cd's. I use my zune as well but I don't feel like programing mp3's for my car radio.

The lamp and clock ideas aren't too bad.

Man, that's pretty wicked! I used to have a bunch of CD's hanging on my old wall back home, it was pretty awsome! I really like that lamp shade Idea.....my try it when I am bored this summer.........
