No they are not. Biodegrable means that they will break down simply via the effects of the environment; sun, rain, etc., But since CDs are plastic I would think they are recyclable i.e. they can be mechanically broken down and remade into some other product...perhaps a water bottle.
addition:
actually they will eventually but it might take lots and lots of years but not right away.
