Yes, I've always thought that getting rid of caddies was a bad idea.
True, some of the caddies were a crap design, but if CDs had been made
like 3.5" floppies from the get-go (audio and data discs), we'd be in a
lot better position.

Scratched and scuffed discs wouldn't be an issue, nor finger prints, nor
badly placed labels.  All of that would be on the outside of the case,
not on something that drive is trying to read.
