Look here, scroll down to text inside a circle. Not for the faint of heart.

CD labels with curved text
You really shouldn't use labels on CDs/DVDs. Labels can cause the CD/DVD to
be out of balance, and can damage the drive. If the label should warp, the disk could get stuck in the device. Air bubbles under the label could cause an unequal distribution of forces on the disc as it spins in the drive, which in turn could cause the disc to shatter while spinning at high speeds such as 52X for CDs and 16X for DVDs. Other issues have also been attributed to the use of paper labels on disks.

There are printers that print directly on a CD. Perhaps the poster has one of
those.

CD labels with curved text
I think labels on CD's is relative to one's experience. I have old CDs that I
have labeled and have never had any problems with them nor my CD-DVD players.

I think that JoAnn's advice about not using paper labels on CDs and DVDs is
right-on, especially on media that you want to keep for a long time. The glues, inks and other chemicals in these labels can deteriorate over time and damage the media and possibly the CD/DVD drive. Short-term use is probably OK, but you must be extremely careful about aligning the label on the disk. If it is not centered perfectly, it can cause the disk to be out of balance which can ultimately damage a high-speed drive. I have personal experience with clients who have lost valuable data or audio/video by using paper labels. There is a good discussion of all of this he http://club.cdfreaks.com/f33/sticky-...beware-173236/ On the other hand, "Light Scribe" CD/DVD media and CD/DVDs that can be printed on directly from some printers are usually OK. -Reed Rinn MVP Desktop "JoAnn Paules" wrote in message ...

Still, Reed, I have never read on any label box a warning that the label causes
CD disk failure or CD player failure. There are some very good tools on the market that align the labels perfectly. It is up to the folks to decide what is best for them. -- Mary Sauer MSFT MVP http://office.microsoft.com/ http://msauer.mvps.org/ news://msnews.microsoft.com "Reed" wrote in message ...
