Automatically imports your track information from Acoustica MP3 CD Burner, iTunes, WinAmp, Easy CD Creator or any other popular play list or previously burnt CD!

Usage:



Once the program was started, there automaticly appeared a pop-up a wizard guiding the user through the cover designing part. The next screen allows for the choose of formats of CD/DVD covers.

You can choose between the folloing options:

• Audio CD
• DVD (Movie Box)
• Mini/Pocket Audio CD

After selecting the label to design you can select from a few predefined layouts like text only, valetine, etc. but later it is still possible to add just any setting by these predefined layouts

When you choose the layout you want a new screen with a super handy feature comes up which allows you to import a play list from WinAMP, etc. but you can also read it from a CD.>


Once Read CD was selected, the contents of the CD where read automatically and all relevant information was retrieved from an internet database.For people with ADSL this is not so problem, but incase you have a dail-up account and you are not connected to the net it can be irritating you have to connect to the internet to get the information. But incase you don't want to connect to the net you can also type everything in by hand. In the next screen it asks about the title which you can modify incase you got the CD information from the net. When this is all is done you will come to the default layout which of course you can adjust to your own preferences.

You can adjust the text settings to all kind of formats and layouts, one thing I personally like that you can remove the text on the CD Sticker layout, with a single press on a button since you don't always like to have the songnames on the CD Sticker. Many things can be adjust like Font settings, Text layouts, also in a text layout you can change how the text is displayed you have many freedoms, only pitty thing is there is no way to make your self default layouts which is to our opinion a good feature to have in such kind of program.

If you want to have extra you can perform a search on your local harddrives, but also you can use Art Explore to point where it is locacte, an option which was a bit missing but it is in most programs is to be able to use cover websites to search for the cover of the CD. Also it is possible to add shape art to the layout in the form of a heart, star, etc. which is fully scalable. A good thing of the program is that you can select what kind of label you want to print, not always you want to print a CD Sticker too.
