Another reason that they stopped making the smaller CDs was that a lot of CD players (including ones in the iMac and laptop computers) started using slot loading for the CDs and these usually wouldn't take the small CDs. I have a limited edition small square CD (Doctor Who - Variations on a Theme). That would look cool spinning around in that player.

I have an old trick that might help with the "sensitivity to bumps" problem. When you turn it off and store it, place it face down. I used to repair CD players and noticed the flexible white carriage that held the lens would sometimes start to sag under the effect of gravity. Storing it upside down when not in use would sometimes use gravity to pull the carriage back and relieve some of the sagging. The sagging would cause the focusing coils to work harder.
