Summary: Amazing, I can't burn a CD without making a label now!
Review: This product works amazingly well. I use it to make labels for cds,using the labels that amazon sells. There is a small learning curve,but after a couple cds you will get the hang of it. The hardest part is printing and getting things to lign up with the sheet you print on, but it is relatively easy.

Make a backup of your game, then download the cover there so your cd looks real. Very useful for custom music cds. I like to put the names of the songs right there on the cd. Applying the cover to the cd is very easy, piece of cake. Awesome product, buy it!

Summary: Piece of Junk
Review: This software is a mess. I bought it for the "fingerprint" capability which is suppossed to be abel to identify audio tracks and supply title and artist info. It is not good. It identified about 85% of the tracks I tried, but the information is supplied field by field. That is, track number, title, artist, duration, etc. are each supplied separately and have to be placed on the label separately, with minimal formatting options. Is some cases I couldn't even get them all on the label.
I would recommend that you look at other packages.

Summary: Frustration!!
Review: This thing is incredibly frustrating! When I picked got it and read the box they made it sound so easy. After I installed it and got started I thought, gee this is easy! I begin to print only to realize its not centered on the label. Then I say to myself, what the hell!! After many times calibrating it, it wouldn't center. If it was centered it cut off the top! After being frustrated out of my mind, i gave up. Bottom line....DONT BUY IT UNLESS YOU LIKE STRESS, OR HAVE ALOT, AND I MEAN ALOT, OF PATIENCE!!!!!

Summary: great and easy
Review: very easy to use,only problem is you have to initally calibrate the printer,it is a lot easier if you read the instructions first which i did not.liked it so much that i bought another one for my son

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good Product
Review: Very good product, very easy to use. I cannot understand the calibration problem some people have mentioned. I have not calibrated once and I got a perfect label first time up.
The label applicator is a very good idea and works very well.
My only problem is that one label is wasted every time you print because each label sheet has two labels and they get printed with the same info.

Summary: Umm...yeah
Review: While I'm glad that other people have had wonderful experiences with this kit, I can't say the same for myself. I purchased it with the usual expectations: "Cool! Now I can make my CD-Rs look awesome with custom labels." They weren't met.

The labels themselves, while of decent quality, are a tiny bit small for a CD's label surface--on my Memorex media, I get a small gold ring on the inside and outside. They're also *very* serious when they give anti-curling instructions.

The install CD includes many interesting high-quality background images. My only complaint is that the "Compact Disc Digital Audio" is black on white and isn't transparent--it erases any background you try to use it over.

The software, however, has been a complete headache. Unlike every other package I have ever heard of, this package requires you to "calibrate" by printing a test pattern on an actual label page (which does not ruin the labels themselves). You're then supposed to enter the printing offset in .04mm increments. Then you hope that the thing doesn't independently alter those by 12mm (1/2") or more, completely ruining a label. In addition, despite the label sheet's having its own layout descriptor file, the top label and bottom label on one sheet are never aligned at the same time. You have to print each separately and then change the vertical offset in between. And make sure not to put any text within about 1/4" of the edge; even calibrated, you never know what's going to get cut off. It also can't use GIF files "because of legal restrictions" (which only apply to software that *creates* GIF files, not uses them, and which expire in 2000 anyway).

Overall recommendation: Blah. If you're *really* set on having CD-R labels, get a CD-labeling kit, but be prepared to deal with some headaches.
