Import from iTunes Dialog

You can import playlists and albums from your iTunes library directly into The Print Shop CD label projects.

To import albums from your iTunes library:

1.  Choose Import from iTunes from the Edit menu. The Import from iTunes dialog appears. You will see a preview of the changes you make in the preview area.

2.  Select the library or playlist in the Source list, and then select an album or artist, or import all tracks from the selected library or playlist.

3.  To modify playlists and albums in iTunes before importing, click the Open iTunes button. The Print Shop always imports songs in the order they appear in iTunes, so if you want to import your tracks in a different order, you should change the sort sequence in the iTunes application. After that, close the Import from iTunes dialog and open it again to apply the changes.

4.  Select Track Number, Track Artist, Track Duration, Album/Playlist Title, Album Artist, or Total CD Time from the Include options. Some of these options are not available when you are creating a spine label.

5.  Specify how text on your label will be positioned.

  Available for CD/DVD face labels.
  Available for CD/DVD cover and tray labels.

These options are not available when you are creating a spine label.

6.  When the Preserve my Layout option is selected, the style and position of label elements remain unchanged as you modify their content.

7.  Click Import to apply changes to your project.

NOTE: iTunes version 3 or later is required to use this functionality.

Another way to import data from iTunes is to select the Use iTunes Playlists option in the Select a Format step of the New Project Setup Assistant. The Import from iTunes dialog will appear when you have finished specifying settings for your CD label project in the New Project Setup Assistant.
