CD SPINE LABELS

C

ChiefOperator

Hello All--

I've taken on the task of organizing the music library of a small station and would appreciate your thoughts.

First, how do you label your music CD's? Do you simply add a label with a cart number to the spine? For example: CART: 0001, etc. I'm thinking of labeling in this fashion. Second, what are you using to create the spine labels? I've checked out some of the CD spine labels, but I can't seem to find them for sale individually (they're coupled with other CD labels).

Any suggestions on any aspects of labeling is appreciated.

I'm not sure whether I'm posting in the right forum, so I'll post the same question in the "production" forum as well.

THANKS!
 
You might try looking at Avery's lineup of labels. I don't know if they have them in the CD spine size, but you could use the smallest size they have, and cut off or fold over the excess around the jewel box.

The Denon labels are perfect. And stay away from Aplhabetical sorting. It's a nightmare, no matter how many "spaces" you leave for future growth. Starting a #0001 is fine. Let MS Word alphabetize by title AND artist.
 
Thanks!

Which Denon labels are you talking about? I searched but couldn't locate them.

You mentioned MS word--are you saying we should create an alphabetized list of both artist and title and then label from there?

Thanks again...

Even better, do it in Excel. Create a spreadsheet with separate cells for title, artist, CD number and any other info you can think of. Then, sort it by whatever info you need to, and print the result.
 
You can also buy complete sheets of label material that's not pre-scored. With those, you can use us a Word table or an Excel spreadsheet to create your labels, then just cut them apart with a paper cutter. Print them on plain paper first to make sure that they're going to fit the way you want, then reprint on the label sheets.
 
Dumb Hair is perfectly correct. It can/should be done in Excel, not Word. Thanks
