I use a paper label system and found it wasn't difficult to set up templates in Pagemaker 6.5 or ClarisWorks. (Much easier than using any of the supplied 'easy' software.) -- ~ Adrian Tuddenham ~ (Remove the ".invalid"s and add ".co.uk" to reply) www.poppyrecords.co.uk

(Much easier than using any >of the supplied 'easy' software.) I do my CD labelling with Powerpoint under Windoze (Mea Culpa). Set up a pseudo-template with a blank square (fits perimeter of CD label) and a circle (fits hole in centre of label). Text goes into tex boxes with no border. If you want to get tricky, you can add a large circle for the perimeter of the CD as a positioning aid for the text, and import artwork if you want fancy stuff. Works for me - YGMMV Geoff

I had some CD labeling software that ran under 8.6 but for the life of me I can't remember its name. It was actually fairly good. -- Woody
