Chris, 
Yes I insert cd right side up. Type in title name. then artist name. ensure
text on cd is checked. 

ThenI burn. 

After burn, I open nero express, and select burn ls label, and after
selecting a few options, I flip over cd and start ls print. 

It grabs the track titles and lists them along the bottom third of the cd. 

Ross.

Ah, so you paid to have your own special work around.

that's good.

Well, the tools that come with nero are much more complex than the simple
lightscribe labeler I'm using, nero cover designer is pretty inclusive.

But then again nero express is another thing again.

But sounds like it can import track titles and such.

So do you leave the cd right side up when importing titles, and then flip it
over when your ready to etch the label, is that how it works with your
system?
