Either print the barcode directly on the disc with an inkjet or use the Avery labels for CDs. They even make printable labels that go on the little portion of the CD in the center (not the hole).
I went the no-tech and lazy way. I bought a bunch of the tyvek sleeves. I don't write on the sleeves, but I write directly on the disc with a marker. I throw the CD in any available sleeve, and put it in some reasonable order. I can usually find something quickly, but sometimes it takes a while.
Unless you're some sort of clean-o-maniac who lives for everything to have a place, realize it's a crappy media for storing in bulk and do something that gets you most of what you want. If you take 40 hours over a span of time to organize this stuff are you ever going to recoup that time? I don't know how often I've gone overboard for this stuff.
