Make sure yer AppleScript Script Menu widget is enabled. Go to Applications -> AppleScript, and drag "Script Menu.menu" to the main menubar; you'll now have a small AppleScript icon in your menubar.
Make a disk image of the CD that you want to burn (or in fact, an actual *.DMG), and mount that image. Now go to the new Script Menu icon, and select Folder Actions -> Attach Action to Folder -> Open, and navigate to your mounted disk image, select that, and you're done. Now all you need is a custom background, and some cool icons, and you're all set!
I don't know if this hint is any good, but it made me very happy when I found out how to do it!
[Editor's note: I have not tested this hint myself.]
