Now you can create CD labels with The Print Shop.

To create a CD label:

1.  Choose New Project from the File menu. The New Project Setup Assistant appears.

2.  Select the Labels project type and click Continue, then select a design method.

3.  Select one of the Avery templates for CD labels, depending on what kind of label you want to create.

4.  Select the Use iTunes Playlist option if you want the Import from iTunes dialog to appear after you have finished specifying options for your CD label project in the New Project Setup Assistant, then proceed to the next step, depending on the design method you have selected.

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

To import playlists and albums from the iTunes library:

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

2.  Select the library in the Source list, and then select an album or artist, or select one of your playlists from the Source list.

3.  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.

4.  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 the above described functionality.
