Hi Joey,
May I make a suggestion here? Before you go into serious
development, try and take a look at the Epson Print CD
program. This prints directly on to "printable" CDs, and
thus eliminates the need to apply those Avery type sticky
labels to a CD, which in turn can so often put a CD out of
balance if they are not quite centered.
I have an Epson Stylus Photo R300 here in the office. It
was far from being an expensive printer, and has a special
adaptor for printing CDs. The quality of what it produces
is absolutely excellent, and is as close to professional as
you are likely to find, although it does take 2-3 minutes to
print a full face colour CD. It's a brilliant printer
generally speaking, and even handles envelopes like a dream.
I also like the fact that there are 6 individually
replaceable ink tanks I'm sure there are many other models
out by now too.
Since we got it, we've never used paper CD labels.
If you do feel it necessary to produce an adhesive label
version, bear in mind that Nero is possibly more popular,
since it is an integral part of a popular CD burning program
anyway. (At least it is here in the UK)

Hi Guys,
I have a software developer that is interested in working on
a CD label program for the blind, however, I have a few
questions for you all that will determent weather or not
this project goes forward, so please do email me.
1, what do you think a fair price for this program would be:
$15, $20, $25 or $30?
Personally, I feel that $25 is pretty good!
2 how picky are you about which labels it works with? I told
him that I felt that anything was better then what we have
now, but, that the most popular CD labeling program being
used was probably Avery design pro..
What do you all think?
We would have to pick one brand of labels, that's the only
draw back, but, if you guys use different labels, let me
know. But, I say, what ever label we have to work with is
fine as long as it is easy to get hold of!
Thanks,
Joey Stuckey
