Down On The Corner
By Paul Moffett

The problem of Unidentified Compact Discs (UCDs) is a real one in this office (and, I suspect, other media offices as well): what to do about CDs that have been removed from their case for playing and now cannot be matched to their original jewel cases?

The pros like to put elegant/cutting edge/cool art on the CD proper, no doubt because they are still trying to produce packages to rival the best of the LP era, even with the severely limited space available on a CD and case. Art lives! Until, that is, the CD, along with three or four others, gets into the changer, while the case is casually tossed into the pile of other CDs waiting for review. Some time later, perhaps hours, perhaps days, that CD is removed from the changer to be put back with the case and related packaging, perhaps even to be reviewed.

But which case? Who released the CD? The art, while colorful and interesting, contains no clues. Not one. No name. No song list. Not even a title. I've taken magnifying glasses to them, trying to figure out whose it is.

You can see (or rather, can't see) what the problem is. My suggestion to all those aspiring (and professional) performers out there: label that CD, if only around the outside or inside edge. It might save that CD.

If you think otherwise, watch me while I drop several UCDs in the round file. And, oh, yes, thanks for the extra jewel cases.
