Def. don't just stick random stickers on CD's! They make the CD's unbalanced, and can come off in your CD players. If this happened in your CDJ you would be very very unhappy.

Originally posted by Stu Cox I use TDK CD-R pens (which are very good, but have a tendancy to leak after excessive use for over a year) for stuff to go in my CD wallet and I just print text onto floppy disk labels (now redundant from their intended use) which I then slice in half to go on CDs for demos etc... if I really want to do something posh I've got some CD labels I can print onto. In answer to the original question, the software I use for printing stuff for CDs is just MS Publisher (2003). I find it's a lot better than most of these specialist (special needs, more like) CD label printing programs - just measure your labels and make yourself a template with some suitable guidelines and do whatever you like. If you really want to be posh then knock something up in Photoshop then import it, but it's really easy to get the image to line up with the label accurately etc with Publisher.

I don't know anyone who's ever had that happen. Coincidentally I actually put one on either side which would make it balanced, although that's nothing I'd ever considered before. But if you use decent labels and stick them down properly I don't think you're really gonna have a problem.

I think it'd actually be more likely for a proper CD label to come off as you've got such a big label perimeter that can lift up, which is right at the edge of the CD so therefore more vunerable

It can and has happened in CD-ROM drives, and also in CDJ's. The reason being that they spin MUCH faster than a regular CD player. I hate those stick on labels made for CD's as well, printable CD's are the way to go... or sharpies

Well I totally agree that printed CDs are better, although currently I don't have access to such technology.

Even the round CD labels will be unbalanced unless they are perfectly aligned. Use printable CD-Rs.
