I'm new to LightScribe, and I've created a "mixed tape" sort of cd in which there are multiple songs and artists.  Is there a way for me to "label" the cd w/ all the song and artists names?

Example:
1. Fantasic Voyage - Coolio
2. The Humpty Dance - Digital Underground
etc

I was thinking that I'd like the list to round the edge of the cd, but I can't find any templates that allow me to do this.

Any tips?

Hi Theresa !

I have made similar posts in other threads.


How I create Labels Containing a Track List

I've put together some stuff I use to create CD Labels.

  • I wrote up the procedure I use in a PDF File.
  • I make PDF Files of any Documentation I create.
  • I have V1.14.32.1 of the LSS and since Version 1.17.90.1 of both the LSS and the corresponding Diagnostic Utility.
  • I include an "Additional Stuff" Folder which contains anything I create while developing My Custom Templates.
  • I created ZIP Files for 6 Windows Vista "Right-Click" Commands I developed to support this and other procedures I use.
  • I "ripped off" the "Template Playlist Beta" "Full" and "Half" Disk Templates; fixed them and create a ZIP File of the two templates.
  • I have a PDF that contains "Template vs.. Simple Labelers" - a comparison of what is the structure of each template.
  • I found 5 FREE Tools I use for development, and have more I am testing.
  • I have a PDF which contains a "Mini Resume" and a lot of "LightScribe Stuff" I've researched.
  • I continually develop PDFs on the Tools I use for development.
  • I developed 110 Custom Templates for the Template Labeler.
  • I developed 5 collections of Images.
  • I developed a New Custom Wedding Template for one Forum User and I did one for another Forum User.
  • I fixed one LSL File for another User by changing a White Outline of some Text to Black.
  • I created Previews of all my Custom Templates and Images and have Catalogues of both as PDF Files.
  • I created 173 ICONS and a PDF Preview.
  • I developed 4 Test "borders" for the Simple Labeler.
  • I tend to concentrate on Filling the entire disk surface especially with TEXT, Bold, Outline, White Text, and More Font Control.
  • I have all this and more in My MS Windows Live Skydrive and on My Office Live Workspace.
  • I have just finished writing a Newsletter about what I've been doing and 2 other FREE Programs I've been researching.
  • 109 Forum Users have taken my offer.

Send me a Private MESSAGE containing:

  • Your correct E-mail Address (REQUIRED BY SITE to send links);
  • Your full name (For my records); and
  • A nickname you use (For my records).

I am retired on a disability, and I do this TOTALLY FREE.

I also try my best to keep E-mail Addresses confidential. I use "Blind Carbon Copies" when I send out anything.

I only occasionally send out Special Notifications, if I do something major.

The only "COST" is your E-mail Address which is REQUIRED both My MS Office Live Workspace and My Windows Live Skydrive to allow access to the stuff I've developed.

I just found out that:
If an Editor or Viewer forwards their E-mail "Invitation" to someone else, that person can use the link in the sharing "Invitation" to view a read-only version of my content.

Hi Theresa,
    Also, there is a template playlist tool that lightscribe posted in the pre-release software area. The tool requires that you have the template labeler and have installed at least one template pack to create the directory structure.

http://www.lightscribe.com/downloadSection/pse/

The tool is here:
http://download.lightscribe.com/ls/Template_Playlist.zip

And the template packs are here:
http://www.lightscribe.com/ideas/index.aspx?id=2564

and the template labeler here:
http://www.lightscribe.com/downloadSection/windows/index.aspx?id=1524

I use the template labeler for almost all of my labels, at the bottom of the template selection there are three blank templates that I use for text only but they don't have the multiple lines that the playlist has.

Reggie

Sorry Reggie!

  • I "ripped off" the "Template Playlist Beta" "Full" and "Half" Disk Templates; fixed them and create a ZIP File of the two templates.

Also, a lot of My Custom Templates are "TEXT ONLY" and even the other tend to have only one Image.  only a few go to 4 Images.

And, I have some that are specifically for Music CDs.

And I have 6 "Right-Click" Directory Commands to help make the Track Lists.

ok guys. Seriously! cimofj2 has twice now, offered to open up his library of hand made Templates, WHICH INCLUDES the much requested 'track titles' Template, otherwise known as the 'all text' Template.

So if you want this awesome Template of Fred's, do waht he asks. Which is message him with your name and email and a nickname. He will give you access to everything.

Thank you, dman!

For MAC Users, there is no easy way to make a Track List.

I have created test "borders" for the LS SL.

You need to create a 2773x2773 Pixel PNG File with the Image & Track List for a "border"; create a the create an 86x86 PNG File for a "thumbnail" you can select; & the necessary XML File for a "metadata" to print the label.
