What is a good Cd labeler?

[tommytom]

I download songs onto cd but need some sort of labeler so I will know which songs I have on the Cd..Any ideas on labeling?

Most of the sticker labels seem like a good idea, until you play the CD one too many times in your car and the sticker starts peeling off and it gets stuck in your head unit.

I had more than 1 person tell me that, so I stopped using the sticker labels. Memorex has printable CD-R's out now, for about 50 cents each, and I think Epson or someone makes an inkjet printer that you can use to print onto the CD's.... its the best way to go imho.

Go to your local Warehouse music or Computer store and check what they have there. I picked up a labeling kit for about 19 bucks. You get an applicator and some labels, and probably a disk that contains the templates to use on your computer.

You can also look up Neato on the net and you can download there CD templates, but once again you need some type of illustration software like Photoshop, Illustrator, or Paint, and an applicator.

Good luck.

I myself have never had a problem with the stickers, and I have been using them for about a year now. I can imagine that there are better ones out there than others. Thanks for the info on the printable CDs.

Thanks for the info on the printable CDs. The Memorex CD-R Printables literally JUST came out like 2 months ago. Right now I've only been able to find them in 30 packs, usually priced around $13.99 which isn't too bad. I'm guessing if they sell decent they'll eventually expand to have 50 packs, 100 packs etc and the prices should go down once more manufacturers get in the game.

I used to use the Neato labels and while I personally never had a problem with them, I had at least 5 or 6 different people tell me that they had problems with the labels coming off due to the CD's getting hot in their car stereos.
