Hi Aynsley,
I have a feeling that most CD writer drives
come with free software, so there may be some kicking around somewhere. If not,
I use Nero (which came free with my CD drive), and it’s OK – it’ll
do covers and so on.
I’m not a huge fan of copying CDs on
the machine – the computer burning process isn’t the most stable
transfer; it’s OK for temporary use, or transfer, but I wouldn’t
want to hang on to machine-burned CDs as they deteriorate quite rapidly. When I
burn stuff to CD, I generally suggest to who I send it to that they transfer it
to a more robust storage medium as soon as possible.
If you’re looking to create lots of
copies, you might investigate glass pressing – which is much more stable
(it’s the process used commercially). It’s generally not worth it
under 500 copies or so, but it’s not as expensive as you think –
price for 500, including cases, printed booklets, and printed CDs, is around
£700.

Subject: CD Design Software
Good afternoon GEMmers
I wondered whether you may be able to help?
Can anyone recommend any good (and reasonably priced) CD design
software which allows for the easy design and creation of CDs? Any suggestions
welcome.
