4.0 out of 5 stars Surething Labeler is MOSTLY a sure thing, October 5, 2007

By	Daniel J. Leinhos (Troy, MI USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Surething CD/DVD Labeler was almost exactly as it was advertised. I was looking for a labeling setup to replace my old one that was no longer in production. After reading many reviews across many sites of various labeling programs I settled on this one and am quite pleased.

Surething is very user friendly. All controls are where you would expect them to be and are easy to use. At the same time, it gives you many advanced options to use as well for the more technical user. You can get your labels to look just as you want them to and not have every label come out looking cookie-cutter, helpped by the many many different designs and backgrounds that are included (import your own images as well). The Track list options are an added bonus for music cd's, and the cd labels extend all the way to the cut-out center hole of the cd, giving them a fuller picture and more finished look.

The Cons: The label applicator device is as basic as can be. There is no way to ready the label without touching the sticky side then trying to get it let go of you. The cd sits above that then just push/click it down over the tabs, similar to putting a DVD into its case. This sometimes results in labels that are slightly off center (not terribly so, but enough to annoy me). Second, the image is often not cetnered on the label, though you are able to calibrate that in the program so no big deal. And third, the paper quality of the labels is such that the darker colors slightly rub off if handled too much. This could just be because I am printing using my company's laser printer. Inkjets may not have this problem.

Summary: Great product for designing professional looking labels, I would highly recommend. A better label and better label applicator would make this a 5 Star product.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best I've found, January 14, 2008

By	Jane in C'ville (Charlottesville, VA) - See all my reviews

I found the software very easy to use and flexible - easy to import graphics & text, move things around, etc. My hopelessly computer illiterate fiance was maneuvering and designing labels within a few hours, with only an occasional cry for help - .

The library of templates is great, and easy to modify. One tiny thing - text frames added to templates will show borders on the screen even after you've removed them - but, no worries - the borders won't print. For those accustomed to standard Office Suite graphics interfaces, it doesn't quite follow those conventions, but the minor differences are easy enough to figure out.

It also prints perfectly on different supported label brands the FIRST TIME without ANY screwing around with alignment, something you can't do with Avery templates, even on their own labels. (Why, oh why, can't Avery get their s*** together? How hard can Word templates be to such a huge company???)

Whoever complained about the label applicator - I don't get it. It's simple, but it works beautifully. Much more accurate than the seemingly better and sturdier load-and-press Memorex applicator I already own.

I also highly recommend the SureThing lables - much better than Avery or Memorex, and much cheaper.

So... if I could wave a magic wand, I would change some of the interface. But, in terms of features, and compared with what's out there - I give this 5 stars. Turnkey & well worth the money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great software, August 8, 2007

By	Gary F. White Sr. (Arlington, Texas) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Great software...finally a CD/DVD labeler with all the bells and whistles...I especially like the ability to go online and get the playlist without typing all the songs in...something the earlier versions didn't offer...
