Fred Langa did some research on the use of labels on CD-ROM disks 
(www.langa.com, publishes a VERY good newsletter in free or paid editions. 
Both are very worthwhile).  Bottom line is that sticking labels on your CDs=
 
will shorten their lifespan considerably.  If you want to keep it simple
and 
black ink will do, buy a Sharpie.  I use multiple colors and buy them on 
sale.

You could also try playing with a CD label printer software and try
printing 
your label on the paper sleeve you put the CD into instead of printing it
on 
a label.  Or, print your info on an address label and stick it on the 
sleeve.  Or, keep your disks in a plastic case and print an insert to go in=
 
the case or print a label and stick it on the case (or on the sleeve).

Just don't stick a label on a CD that you want to last more than a very few=
 
years.

I went to froogle and looked CD Label Printers  up for their
prices, etc.

Does anyone on this list use one.  I have a Fellows Label
thingie but a lot of people don't like these because they say
the labels can come off in the CD Rom.

I really don't see how as the laser works on the bottom to read
the disks.  I've never had a label come off yet.  I don't want
anything fancy as black ink will do just fine for now.

Sure would appreciate any comments on what you are using either
at home or where you work.

Thanks,

Judith
