I've been searching high and low for Linux software that allows the creation and printing of labels for a CD/DVD. There's dozens of them for Windows but I can't seem to find any for Linux.

Are you talking about self-adhesive labels to "attach" to the disk itself? Perhaps you should read this (especially "Quick Reference"): http://www.clir.org/pubs/reports/pub121/contents.html Apparently this type of label is not good for the data on your disk.
Yes, the self-adhesive ones. They're not data CDs. They're music CDs that my wife uses in her dance classes. Long term retention is not a concern. On Sun, 2006-01-01 at 08:59 -0500, Frank Bax wrote:

What I here is that labels are OK for short life CD for longer life storage about 10 years stick to the pens. Unless someone reinvents the label any time soon. Then again there are the kind you can lazer on the label side. Perhaps someone here is working on doing that with normal CDRW. -- ___ _ _ _ ____ _ _ _ | | | | [__ | | | |___ |_|_| ___] | \/

It's hard to get all the pieces of those fragile CDs out of the printer after that too! When are they going to make CD/DVDs flexible enough so we can get them printed? Gotta be a SUSE problem... Stan

Most printers can remove a pannel at the back so thick and/or unfoldable printables can move relative flat trough the printer. We have such a printer here, there is a card-board frame (as thik as a CD, as large as A4 paper) with a cd-size hole in it. Feed them both from back to front trough the printer and off you go. CBee

That is the Lightscribe (www.lightscribe.com) feature that is out for CD/DVD drives and media. Its currently a gold monochrome with different base media color planned for the future. Looks like Sebastian Trueg of k3b fame is working with LaCie to get it working in Linux. I can't find any other info on Linux capabilities beyond NeroLinux... Stan

Hi Donald, you might want to try kover, glabels, kcdlabel, cd-circleprint, cdcover, cdlabelgen, disc-cover, make_cd_label, dialog-cd-label... Haven't tried all of them, only the first few.

Looks like glabels will do it. I checked out glabels a couple of versions ago and it didn't do round labels. I guess someone has been working on it since then. Thanks to all. Donald D. Henson, Managing Director West El Paso Information Network The "Non-Initiation of Force Principle" Rules
