I think we're talking about different things.  I'm not creating labels 
for the disk- the Sharpie is a faithful old tool- but front and rear 
inserts for the jackets.  I'd like to place photographs on the front, 
plus a title for the CD (which varies quite a bit- most compilations 
only are made three to four times, as I only make as many as are sold), 
and then the back gets the tracks and the musicians' names- which again, 
vary an awful lot.
