I've made several custom CDs and would like to print up some very nice, well fitting jewel case inserts. Kind of tough to identify the CD's when they're in that clear plastic jewel case with no ID showing when in the rack. Anyone particularly thrilled with a specific program for creating these inserts? I can do Mac or Windows. Doesn't matter to me as long as the program does a nice job with the inserts. Suggestions?

I use SureThing CD Labeler mainly for lightscribe labels, but it does the other labels and inserts too. The cool thing is that it can automatically make a track list from CD-Text or from an online database (if it's a retail cd).

Measure the dimensions of a CD case, and do everything else in photoshop.

Nero?? I didn't know it could do that! I know iTunes will do it, too, but it doesn't give an option to print info on the spine(I think you call it that) of the jewel case. I really want to be able to ID the disc without taking it out of my rack. Guess I could pull the old sticky/exacto knife routine, but that looks so cheap and tacky. Having an easy way to do something up nice would be preferred.

Anyone else got words while I check on Nero?

You got that right. With the text tool, I can add the artist/album on the spine/edges of the case, too. Many, many thanks!!
