i wish you guys luck on this it will be hard for everyone to use though.
since lots of printers are now printing directly on the cdrom they need to use their own bundled software for that. but the old way of printing on sticky back paper covers is used a lot too. although depending on what
cover paper you use it needs a different setting in the printer.
i've see about 10 different ways to set them up. so this is not an easy task to get done.

and i also found in making covers for cases you have to be one step ahead of the case makers. they keep changing them to make them smaller and thinner.

all the above is why i just started making tempelets in word to use for the cases.
and i use the printers direct to cdrom printing for the label.

what i am saying is IMHO i found it is better to use multiple programs instead of a everything in one program.

Hello :-)

Yes, i am still alive and i have not forgotten this cover-print-project. Its only a matter of time, my job needs much of my time ;-)

But I promise to take some hours of development for this app.
I am not a very good coder, just someone with ideas :o

Stay tuned, show respect for trixmoto, he is the king for MM Plugins / Scripts. 8)

My brain is not functioning right today (haven't eaten food). Can someone explain what this is for, and if there is any need for a skinner? I can help if this program/plugin has some kind of use.
Best regards,
Morten

The idea is you select a CDs worth of tracks (maybe an artist album) and run the interface script. This creates a data file and passes it into the MMCD application. This application then automatically creates a CD case cover with the album cover on the front and all the track details.
Download my scripts at my own MediaMonkey fansite.
All the code for my website and scripts is safely backed up immediately and for free using Dropbox.

Printing CD Covers

Post by Timber »

I am glad to see you all are working on printing CD covers. I am still using (ughh) iTunes to print my CD covers and it is very redundant. However the one feature I like in iTunes print options is their "mosaic" covers both white and full cover. This is great for building compilation CD's. I see there is work being done on ways to change fonts/text in the script. That is great!

I would even like t ojoin together on the script building, but I no nothing at this point. Any tips on prog's I need and some basic tutorials would be appreciatted.
