Summary: Cool, but...
Review: ...the software could be better. I have done a lot of desktop publishing and work with graphics programs, and the software for CD Stomper is not very easy to use. I also tried to buy additional labels at local stores, and couldn't find any labels by Stomp. So I bought another brand with the same layout, but found that their measurements are different.If the Stomp software could accommodate other labelling brands, and add more functionality, this would be a terrific product. Otherwise, you may want to investigate other CD labelling brands, as they all do the same stuff.

Summary: Great for the CD hobbyist
Review: For very low volume labeling of CDs there probably is no better solution than this system. With it, you will be able to label your CDs in a handicraft kind of way that will largely satisfy. Especially for the home hobbyist or giftmaker, it will be surprising how good the finished products from this system will look. Throw in the modest pricetag and you've got a genuine argument for buying this product. There are difficulties, however. First, the preferred kind of CD labels--those included with the package and made by CD Stomper--have adhesive not entirely harmonious with the Memorex brand of CD-R's. Long term, the instruction manual warns you, the adhesive may become less sticky on the Memorex CD-R's surface. Second, the software is a memory hog. You've really gotta empty your system tray before you run it. Unless you have something over 40% of system resources free, you won't be able to preview graphical elements. Worse, you may think that the graphic element is going to print, but then it doesn't, making you waste labels. When system resources drop extremely low, merely attempting to use the "insert Graphics" command will make the software crash. Repeatedly. (By contrast Corel Draw had little difficulty functioning properly in a system resource-poor environment, despite being a much more fully-functioned editing package. Clearly, this is not the world's most robust program.) Third, the software isn't so revolutionary that you care to try to re-run it after it crashes. While it makes the process of CD labeling more convenient, I'd rather just have a template to use in concert with more serious--and more stable--graphical software, like Illustrator or CorelDraw. Nothing this software does can't be done ten times better by full-featured graphic editors. And fourth, should CDs labelled with this product come into contact with moisture, the label will be adversely affected. This isn't exactly the fault of the good people at Stomp--it's symptomatic of anything printed on an inkjet printer--but it's worth mentioning that people trying to make more professional labels would be advised to choose other solutions. Now, having said all this, I would still definitely recommend the product for its intended audience. Home users will enjoy this software. Most people could probably make attractive labels within 30 minutes of installing the software. The interface *is* intuitive and convenient. The artwork included for backgrounds is in many cases actually stunning. As long as you give the software plenty of system resources to work with, and can accept the potential impermanence of your labels, you'll probably find little fault with this product.

Summary: Believe the other reviews!
Review: Got mine at Staples. Spent 2 hours trying to import my
photo and company logo. I have re-boxed it and they will
take it back. Stomp owes me sixty dollars for my wasted time.
The trick to returning software at a store that has a no return policy is..... If it costs less than fifty, just buy a couple of ink cartridges in its place...works for me at Staples.
Beavis & Butthead must own Stomp. I got XP by the way.

Summary: Mac Version is Mediocre...
Review: I don't know how good the PC version of this program is, but I have to say the Mac version is rather awkward and poor. Yes, you *can* print decent looking labels and jewelcase liners with the software-- and the stomper device itself does work quite well. But, the software user interface is terrible. Basic actions like cut-and-paste aren't permitted, let alone drag-and drop. If you accidentally start using the wrong template, you can't convert to another one (let alone cut-and-paste the data), you have to start over from scratch. The clip art and patterns provided are OK, but unremarkable-- and I haven't seen a lot of support out there (i.e. new patterns or clip art to download). In short, it works. But there surely must be something better out there, no?

Summary: The latest version still doesn't work
Review: I downloaded the latest and "greatest" version (4.8.2) of Click'n Design 3D for the CD Stomper. The photo browser STILL doesn't work on my Windows XP Home Edition system. Do they even bother to test their software before releasing it?? Stay away from CD Stomper!

Summary: If you like making creative CD labels this is it!
Review: I have been using Stomp for my labeling needs for a long time now and though I have not tried other products I highly recomend this one. The interface is very easy to work with and allows you to import other JPEG or BTMP images to your labels to truly customize and create unique CD labels. The more you play around with this the more ways you can find to transfer and manipulate your images. Lately I have been grabbing images off the net, manipulating them in Paint and copy/paste them to my Stomp template. It also comes with a fairly extensive library of images, but you will find that want to move beyond them soon. I did find it easier at first to print out all the images that come with the program so that I could look at my choices without opening and closing windows. The applicator that you use to get the label onto the CD is pretty much fool proof and one of the most imporatnt aspects of creating good functional CD labels. If they go on crooked you will have problems with playback.

Summary: Quick Easy Install and Great Results
Review: I have been using this for over a year now and have no complaints. It realy is simple to install (Windows XP Home) and use. I have tried other products and this far surpasses them. I love the templates they give you. It helps to know exactly what the label will look like. Just wish I wasn't wasting so much on the paper since I only use the CD/DVD Labels. The 3.5" labels are getting pitched.. trying to think of something to use those for. lol..
