Begginner wants your help

[Dickie]

I'm new to this and need a little help. I use either Nero or clone cd to make copies of my cd's and have found them both to be adequate. I would like some advice however on how to make copies of album covers and the print on the disc itself so I can have good replicas of the whole cd and not just a crummy disc. I have downloaded pochette express 2 and it seems ok but can anyone give me basic advice on any aspect of copying cd's and covers. I would also be interested to know if I am using approriate software for my needs or if there are more suibtable programmes out there - free ones of course.
Sorry if my requirements are a little basic for you lot but as I said I am somewhat of a begginner, but nevertheless keen.

If u want covers try h**p://www.cdcovers.cc/, should have what ur looking for. This will save u the hassle of scanning them urself!
I can only speak for myself, but i've never had much luck putting covers on the CD itself as it would make my music CDs skip!

A graet little cover program is "CDRLabel".

For coving the CD "CD Stomper" is suppose to be good but u need to buy at a store as it comes with some hardware to guide the label on to the CD!
I know there is other programs out there that use the CD case to guide the sticker on to the CD, perhaps someone will help u out on that one.

Cheers!

Personally I dont print on the cd as this makes the cost go up too much for me.
Also, I like people to know theyre getting copies and that I'm not trying to pass them as real counterfeit cds.
As long as they look good in the cdrack.
Plenty of people do however print the cds..
Stick-on labels have to be used with caution. One bad adhesion and your cd-player is bye bye.
For covers I recommend coverxp or cdrlabel.

Thanks for the advice everyone. cdcovers looks like a very useful tool. I'll let you know how I get on and no doubt come back with another 'school boy' question for you!
