I will congratulate her, and she will say 'what, no, I don't do the music section, silly, I do the main library' and I will say 'you led me to believe you covered the whole library, what else have you been lying to me about?'. I am always strangely impressed by the selection of cds there; it seems quite varied.

This is kind of obvious, but then it took me a couple of years to figure out:
Easy way to take off the barcode sticker on top of the cd case is to take cover of cd case off by the bottom hinge, and then pull the cover from the bottom of the cd case. The sticker still doesn't usually come off in one piece, but it will get you into the case faster.

I don't take them off, generally. I am often pleased when pulling out an old CD or record or tape at seeing that I only paid £2.99 for it, or something like that. If they came off dead easily (as with books, almost always) I might remove them, but it doesn't trouble me.

My favorite- buy CDs online, they come shrinkwrapped (argh) with the security stickers across the top under the shrinkwrap (AAARRRGGHHHHH!!). I always snap the hinges of the cases trying to pull it open a bit to tear the sticker. Sadly, I've discovered a cure for this problem, but it's far too expensive: amazon.co.uk CDs. No shrinkwrap, no security stickers on most of them! If only there was free international shipping, and the exchange rate wasn't so expensive....
