How do you label your CD's?

[Grandpaw]

You are probably asking about your own Cd's with files on them but I would like to add this just in case you copy a disc.

When I copy disc this is how I make the label...

I have an all in one printer. First I take one of the pages with the two CD labels pealed off and cut the outline of where the CD was removed in a square shape using an exacto knife. Now I have a sheet that originally had peal off labels with two cutout squares that the Cd's will fit in snugly. From then on all I do is lay this template down on the top of my printer and put the CD information side down and close the lid. Next I put a new sheet with labels on it in the printer and press copy. By having the Cd's positioned in the template I have made, it will copy the info centered on the CD label right where I need it. This is much easier than scanning it into my computer getting it into a program and lining it up.

With this method I can make a CD label perfectly centered with high resolution in seconds, Jeff

NOTE: Don't try cutting the CD label on the template out with a round hole because it is almost impossible. Cutting a square hole is easier and will make your CD stay where you need it to be able to copy.

I don't write anything on the disc either - this eliminates any chance of that problem. I store my CD's in jewel cases and put an Avery label on the outside of the case with what folders are on it. I store my images in folders such as 20080111_(subject).

It's easy and it works for me - I have rarely used the CD's for anything other than the wonderful time that my internal hard drive failed and somehow took a lot of info off my external drive which was on at the same time...
