Do you mean "Do I need labels"? Labels are nice, of course, but you can also write on the top of the disc with a permanent marker, with some caveats. There are now thoughts that even marker ink will eventually bleed through the top surface and degrade your recording. Here is a good article on the subject, including info on newer markers deemed safer:http://www.tapeonline.com/articles/using-permanent-ink-markers-on-cds-dvdsAmazon currently has some of these "safer" markers for sale.

I believe John has answered this question very well. I'm not technically smart, so he would be betteroff taking John's advice.

You can write directly on the discs. I use a black permanent marker to write titles on my discs.

yes you can write on the disc if you use a felt tip marker. do not use a label.

Not at all! Though you CAN use one of course but it's not necessary; when you have a CD or DVD in the drive, it will either have the location reflected on your desktop or iTunes (if your using that application)- otherwise, it most surely would be found on your desktop or drive / program finder. There by the name of the cd or DVD, you will see a tiny arrow pointing down next to it or below it (can't really remember)- you then just move the curser with your trackpad (or mouse) and click on it and you content will eject smoothly.

It does not - it comes with a disc and a little cheat sheet of sorts... for any substantial information you need to pull it up online.

No, ITunes will not label the tracks for you. But it doesn't take all that much time to type in the info on your own. I do it all the time because my ITunes store will not connect or let me log in. Yes, a nuisance, but worth it to have my CD's on my IPOD.

Unfortunately, there is little information about the labels being used for CD's. In general, the labels are great, and I've used them for years. Wish I could have been of more help.

I use a permanent marker on DVD's and CD's quite frequently. No problem at all.

If you have the correct label paper such as Avery. I print file labels all the time using Avery labels. I think one of the engineers prints CD & DVD labels.

I think you have misunderstood the purpose of this device. It is a disc storage unit. You can use it to store data, music, or dvds. Any program for labeling what you are storing and keeping the list is on the website www.mydiscgear.com I recommend you have a look at that website for how they store your titles. A shortcoming I found is that they do not have a program like EXCEL to do this so that you can rearrange your data according to different tags or keywords for more variety in searching for what you want to find in the collection.

Yes, that is - IMO - one of, if not THE, primary functions of this device. I helped my parents do that two weeks ago with this unit (I purchased it for them). You obviously MUST by writable DVD disks (there are a number of formats available).

The CD or DVD disc must be printable. I have used an Epson R260 printer for 15 years and have made many hundreds of labels that require TIF pictures, coloring and design practice. In my opinion,it is the only way to go.

Owners manual -- yes -- on same disc as software. Not very impressed with software.

I'm quite sure you can pick and choose what you want. I usually just record a CD and then edit the finished product.I haven't used it in quite a while. When I did use it, I'd just pop a CD in, and when it was finished I'd take the mem stick to the PC and listen to it. Anything I wanted to edit I would do that using DAK editor.

You have to follow a process of finalizing the disc first. It isn't difficult. I would imagine most will have the same process.

John, this disk are only readable once written to them only. what you are looking for i believe is DVD+RW, the W makes them erasable and write to them as long as the disk does not get damaged. Hopefully this answears your question.

Yes you would need to buy something to put the CD in, I hope that this is helpful. There are a lot of discs, but I like the program.

I can remember if I did or not. I know I had an instruction sheet I will have to look and see if I still have that and if I did have disc. If so I will be happy to send you a copy of the disc or instruction sheet. I had no problem at all transferrin the file from on computer to the other. I will try to contact you through this connection if I do and a get the info send it to you whatever I have.

You can write it out, if you want, but if you have a lot of DVDs or CDs, you'll want to have an easy way to search and find them again, especially as you purchase new ones to add to your collection. Some folks have used the online system to keep track of theirs, but I created my own excel sheet where I can organize them and then easily search out where I stored a specific DVD.
