Summary: Been Using CD Stomper for years
Review: CD labeling is not high-tech, but I've used several and CD Stomper wins in my book. The applicator has heft and weight. It isn't {inexpensive}plastic. More importantly, the software is extremely easy to use, and includes settings for major printers and a huge variety of brands of labels.

Summary: You'll never go back to writing again!
Review: For years, I've labeled my CDs/DVDs with a permanent marker. Now that I've ventured out and bought a CD/DVD labelmaker, I'm stunned at the results! It's very simple to follow the instructions given, or just trying things out 'trial and error'. Nothing's simpler than just putting in an image either you've made or a CD/DVD label you download online, then you press print and stick the label on the applicator and press! Viola - instant labels!
The only thing I've found is that all the labels included are matte/paper quality, anything more than that like glossy/photo quality is very expensive! Matte quality is standard and decent enough. I recommend having at least a good inkjet printer if you're going to print photos on the labels, they do soak up ink!
I highly recommend this product, it's quite addictive once you get the hang of it!!!

Summary: Mac software does not work *at all*
Review: I bought it assuming the labeling stating Mac compatability was true. The software crashes every 5 seconds and is so far behind the PC version it's a joke. There is no download for any update on the website except for PC. The Mac version is at 3.4.2, while the PC version is up to 5. I had to build my own template in Illustrator. Nice labels, guys, but thanks for nothing.

Summary: Mac software might not work for you
Review: I find the product is usable on Mac OS 10.1.5
It crashes on opening in Mac OS 10.3
It has a few bugs, but I am very pleased by my final results.Before purchasing, you should check the support section of their web page and see if they will answer any question you might have, such as, will it work on your system?

Summary: Looks pretty but ruins discs
Review: I've used CD Stomper for well over two years and I can attest that it is very easy to use. The software is intuitive and the labels look amazing on the CD (especially if you use the glossy labels with photographic level images.) I am a self proclaimed neat-nick and these labels have really dressed up my audio CD backups, software archive discs and DVD discs. Until recently I have been a devoted CD Stomper user and advocate.
BEWARE! The glossy labels will warp the disc over time. I've never used the thinner, matte labels so have no experience with them or their archival quality. I went to view a DVD archive that I had labeled about 18 months ago and the discs are warped beyond usability. Thinking it must be inferior media (Datawrite brand) I started to check my archived discs and older audio CDs. The media brands of these other discs include: Maxell, Memorex, Philips, Sony, and Verbatim. They all are exhibiting the warping to varying degrees all based on age. The longer the label is affixed to the disc, the more it will warp it. When pealing a label off the backing before it is applied you will notice an extreme curve toward the printed side. Who would guess that a piece of paper could exert enough force to bend a plastic CD?

Summary: Been Using CD Stomper for years
Review: Made in the USA CD Stomper has made my labeling seamless and exact every time. It is much more than just the stomping device its self, the software and label design adds a professional look to the finished product. You can store favorite themes and layouts. The labels are very economic for their purpose. Once in a while I would find a typo and as long as the label was not rubbed in too well it could be pealed and replaced. The accompanying jewel box labels are all designed for the standard size and do not work well with the slimmer jewel boxes.
I am so enamored of this device that I doubt I could ever use any competing brands.
