Look at the following two extensions.

- FE Form Edit, API http://typo3.org/extensions/repository/view/mth_feedit/0.4.2/
- Library for Frontens plugins, http://typo3.org/extensions/repository/view/sg_zfelib/1.0.0/ 


The first one gives an easy way to make an FE-plugin with create, edit, delete 
for nearly every extensions. If you are using TYPO3 4.1 you will need to 
patch class.tx_rtehtmlarea_base.php, http://bugs.typo3.org/view.php?id=5105. 
The second one are a bit more advanced, but also more flexible.

To have the opportunity to add more than one image to each cd, you can change 
maxitems for the image field in tca.php
