It strikes me that what's as likely is that you are getting condensation directly onto the CD from the air because the CD is cold from being affected by proximity to the car's ventilation system. I'd think the moisture in the air would mostly condense in the AC system right where the cooling takes place near the condensor, not along the line unless you have warm, moist air being mixed with the stuff in the line. Even if it is leaking from the line you may still have an issue with direct condensation onto your CDs if they are being cooled by being right next to the ventilation system. You could also run the risk of posssible damage to your CDs when you use the heating in your car if they get too hot. I know that in my girlfriend's old Chevy Nova (Corolla in disguise), her tapes would reflect the temperature settings.
If you can spot a direct leak onto the CDs from the air ducts then that may solve your immediate problem. You could also make sure that when you have your AC on that you use the recirculation rather than fresh air setting. That way the air will get dried out more thoroughly. Otherwise you may need to find some way to put insulation around your sound system so it isn't affected so much by the ventilation in your car. You could also see if the ductwork is tight and maybe seal up joints so you don't get leaks along the line that may be blowing into your sound system and causing temperature extremes.
