Aaaaah, the "scattergun" approach!
Involves too much entropy for my liking, I've spent most of the last 4 years trying to get the house the way I want it. To use your approach, appealing as it is, would be a big step backwards.
I only got round to putting up the shelves yesterday, need to make a point of using them...
Anyway, with the average single CD and case weighing just under 100g that'd make it getting on for 70kg. I'm not throwing that kind of weight around the living room, the mrs would batter me ;-)

Perhaps you can try this instead
Perhaps you could plaster part of the ceiling with an adhesive that gradually releases the CDs over time, and construct something to catch the falling CDs and send them off to the CD player. Once the CD player has finished, it could use it's powerful eject-mechanism to shoot the CD back onto the ceiling. If a CD falls before the current CD finishes playing, the CD player will eject the CD in time to receive the newly-landed CD.
