Looking for CD Label Creator software
Can someone recommend Linux software for creating CD labels. I want to come up with a nice arty design I can print onto a CD label as easily as possible.

the gimp has built-in cd label capabilities...

there's an application called gtkcdlabel, never used it so can't comment on how good it is but it should do th ejob
|
the Gimp template is for a CD cover, not the label.

There's a cd label template for open office here.

Thanks for all the helpful info. I found and installed the gimp plugin for CD covers. Since I had to purchase labels anyway, I just purchased the Memorex CD & DVD Labelmaker for $14.95 at Best Buy. (For Windows & Mac only...sigh). Talk about hard to use and it doesn't even look up cddb information for you. I'm testing some linux CD tools called gtkcdlabel, kover, and kcdlabel, right now. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

There is Kbarcode with label designing capabilities. I have not yet used it to say something - good or bad - but the list or supported Avery templates looks impressive. Please, post the result of your CD label software search, because I am looking for the same thing. Good luck! :-)

How good is linux at buring multiple cds. In windows if you try to burn two cds at the same time the system hangs. How is it in linux.

I still end up using Windows Memorex CD Labeler because none of the Linux CD labelers are easy at calibrating the printer to the correct position. |

I just found gLabels (look it up on Sourceforge) and was surprised to see that I can not only get a lot of supported templates but also to design my own template. I think gLabels reminds me of Neato MediaFace CD-DVD labeling software, which I had on Windows not a long ago. However with gLabels, I was able to calibrate my printer (by adjusting my custom made template) to an extremely high level of precision, which I have been never able to acheave with MediaFace. I do not know how good your Memorex is but I am sure you should try gLabels out. |

let me... us know when you write one. :-)
By the way, have you tried installing your Memorex software using Crossover Office? If yes, how did it work? Do you use Crossover Office at all? |

i tried that gLabels program. It is quite good. You may need to use Gimp to create some effects, but the simple fact that the program supports major label templates gets my vote.

...well, MS software aint free either! :-) I would recommend you to try it. I have the ability to flawlessly run Photoshop, Dreamweaver, QuickTime, OziExplorer, and lots of other useful apps on my Linux box. And I think with version 3.0.1 Codeweavers did a great job (comparing to previous versions). |

I've looked into the Gimp CD labeling template and gLabels. They are as good as my Memorex CD/DVD Labeling kit. However, none of them will shape text automatically, read CD-text or CDDB info. That makes them incomplete as far as I'm concerned because any CD Labeling software should read CD-text and CDDB info (you should also be able to choose between Gracenote and freedb). |
