Is there a playlist jewelcase app that can print for CD case inserts? I'm using Cheetah right now because Musicmatch is too cumbersome.
Actually, I really don't care about making any labels. It's the playlist I want to print for the CD case insert for the CD song ID's, and the burner I have doesn't have print capabilities and won't allow me to copy the text. I once used an older copy of Roxio's burner that would also print jewelcase playlists, but alas that's gone too when my motherboard bit the dust and had to rebuild.
Does the burner also have to be the app to print the playlist, or can I get an app that can import this info? Thanks folks.

The latest copy of Nero has a Cover Designer app.

I seem to recall CDBurnerXP Pro (http://www.snapfiles.com/get/cdburnerxp.html) doing a good job of this. I don't think it was capable of any graphics but that may have changed since then.
The other thing I used to do for playlists was open a DOS box and make my way to the folder with the playlist and type in
dir /b > filename.txt
which creates a text file of the list of files in that directory. You can copy and paste it where you will.

Thanks for the replies, guys. Appreciate it.
Ol'Tunzafun- I tried that batch command and it worked okay, but the directory list really doesn't give me a song list of what's in a particular playlist...just a listing of all the playlists in that folder. I can't remember if I've already tried CDBurnerXP Pro, but I'll look at it and see.
bonz_dragon - I also thought about Nero, and it's priced close to Roxio's Creator, but I've worked with Creator for a long time (lost my olded copy after the old M/B burn-up) and don't really want to start all over again. I'm able to burn CD's all over the place with what I have now, just can't spruce the case up with nice inserts with what I have now. Might bite the bullet and get the new Creator app. Thanks.

The last 2 CD Burners I've bought came with Nero and the latest version is better than the older ones.
Pretty easy to use and the Cover Designer is nice, even allow to add a jpeg pic if I remeber right.

You would have to move into the playlist. Is the playlist itself not a folder?
EDIT: Ahh.. I guess it is rather a proprietary file, incorporating a list of shortcuts, like a Nero project file. That command only works if all the actual files are in one folder.

Well, actually it's not a folder but a .cta designated file. I guess that would be proprietary. I think I already tried it and it wouldn't do it. Anyway, I bought the Creator 8, so we'll see.
Thanks for the help, y'all.
