I don't know where you all are shopping but even in the shops where 
they keep all the actual CD's elsewhere (behind counter etc).  one 
can still "flip-through" the covers/ sleeves in thhe bins.... then 
you ask to buy it and they  retrieve the actual disk.

in my fave shops i flip through and can listen to whatever i want 
before buying... is this a luxury then?
