cd labels

I've used many labeling programs over the years and SureThing wins hands down. The best thing about SureThing is how many pre-printed stock labels it supports. No matter what brand of CD labels, insert cards, etc that you buy, chances are SureThing has a template for it right there in the menu. One of the things I find most frustrating with other programs is the lack of out of the box support. Sometimes a certain label stock gets discontinued or becomes hard to find and you're forced to switch. Other times genertic labels that are just as good are much cheaper than some of the known brands, so to have a program that supports almost everything will cut down on the frustration time. SyreThing is also updated regularly. Very good especially the support for new labels that come out. If you're connected to the net you can check for updates from within the program and download them from the SureThing's web site.

The interface looks very attractive and more importantly it's very functional and easy to use. Another labeling program I used has a great looking interface but it was very slow, even on my Pentium4 2.0 GHZ system with 1000MB of RAM. The built-in selection of background images that comes with SureThing are very nice. You can have quick professional looking labels with just a few clicks. Also all the images can be used on every single template, which is great if you want to create a set of labels that actually match. I've noticed other programs will give you template images for a CD, but you can't use that same image for the case without losing quality. All in all, this is the best labeling software I've used, and well worth the price. SureThing has a fully functional 15-day free trial version of the program available for downloading at their web site. Try before you buy.

I dont know about this version but im telling you Version 3 is simply the best labelling product around. Mostly it is because of the magnificent amount of background art but once you start to get a hang of the program (it took a good while) You will love it because it is very versatile. I expect people complain for the same reasons...i.e I was very confused when I started working with the program... Now I really love it.

As far as functionality goes - I never got the CD labels to line up perfectly on the paper. But there were a few tweaks that I never bothered with.
Most importantly, I want to mention that Windows NT is NOT a supported operating system for this product. Amazon is just plain wrong to list Windows NT. Go to the manufacturer's web site if you want to verify for yourself.
What will happen if you use Windows NT? I used it with Windows NT 4.0 SP 6. Many programs leave some pending operations for the OS to execute the next time it reboots, that's why you see that "you must reboot your computer for all changes to take effect" on a lot of programs. With Win NT 4 SP6 the operations will ruin the hard drive. Totally, physically destroy. Completely unrecoverable. I trashed 4 hard drives (all under warranty) before I finally figured out the culprit.
I posted my problem to the forums from SureThing and got a response asking if my computer could really handle writing to a CD - they thought I might be taxing my computer too much. Well, the computer I was using was a brand new Dell Workstation (purchased 2002). Not a Dell desktop, but a workstation. The kind of computer you can only get by clicking on the "medium or large business" link on Dell's web site.
I was able to get the software to work find in Windows 2000. I was using two separate hard drives on the Dell workstation. Due to customer requirements, some software had to be built on Windows NT 4 SP 6.
