Hi,
 
I actually have one of these items as I wanted to label some tapes.  The
issues I have found with it are as follows:
 
1.  Only a limited number of labels (i.e, you have label 1 to 250, then
that is it).
2.  It is a bit of a fad to try and get the label reader working on a
stack of tapes/cds without upseting the rest.
 
Other than that they are good readers and do what they say on the tin.
Why they only supply you with the first fifty labels though is a mystery
as you will probably get through them quickly and want the rest.
 
There is a ID mate bar code scanner which uses memory cards and works
with any bar code, the disadvantage with this though is that you would
have to take the CD out of the rack in order to scan it.  It is also
much more expensive than the other scanner.
 
Thanks.
Andrew.
