George:
How do you deal with laying out the format of your CD label?  I have a hard 
time imagining the appearance of a round label in the rectangular world that we 
live in with screen reading software.

  Hi Joey,

  May I make a suggestion here?  Before you go into serious development, try 
and take a look at the Epson Print CD program.  This prints directly on to 
"printable" CDs, and thus eliminates the need to apply those Avery type sticky 
labels to a CD, which in turn can so often put a CD out of balance if they are 
not quite centered.

  I have an Epson Stylus Photo R300 here in the office.  It was far from being 
an expensive printer, and has a special adaptor for printing CDs.  The quality 
of what it produces is absolutely excellent, and is as close to professional as 
you are likely to find, although it does take 2-3 minutes to print a full face 
colour CD.  It's a brilliant printer generally speaking, and even handles 
envelopes like a dream.  I also like the fact that there are 6 individually 
replaceable ink tanks  I'm sure there are many other models out by now too.

  Since we got it, we've never used paper CD labels.

  If you do feel it necessary to produce an adhesive label version, bear in 
mind that Nero is possibly more popular, since it is an integral part of a 
popular CD burning program anyway.  (At least it is here in the UK)

  Hi Guys,

  I have a software developer that is interested in working on a CD label 
program for the blind, however, I have a few questions for you all that will 
determent weather or not this project goes forward, so please do email me.

  1, what do you think a fair price for this program would be: $15, $20, $25 or 
$30?
  Personally, I feel that $25 is pretty good!

  2 how picky are you about which labels it works with? I told him that I felt 
that anything was better then what we have now, but, that the most popular CD 
labeling program being used was probably Avery design pro..
  What do you all think?
  We would have to pick one brand of labels, that's the only draw back, but, if 
you guys use different labels, let me know. But, I say, what ever label we have 
to work with is fine as long as it is easy to get hold of!

  Thanks,

  Joey Stuckey
