The CD-LabelPrint installer package that is included in the software archive will place the utility in your Applications directory, together with the extensive documentation and other support files. Note that you will be able to access the app’s user interface only if there is a correctly installed.

I decided to revisit SureThing CD/DVD Labeler, which I had given a brief spin many years ago, put aside and never reconsidered.
From what I've re-experienced of it over the past couple of days, it's a really good program now, and in fact I think I'll be favoring it over Acoustica for a few features it has that Acoustica or others don't have.

1. SureThing, like the Canon CD LabelPrint program, which is pretty good (and free), has the ability to adjust the size and position of your background image, which neither Nero CoverDesigner nor Acoustica CD LabelMaker has.
2. SureThing, just like Canon, but unlike Acoustica or Nero, has a text shadowing and border feature, which is often quite important to help text stand out from a photo background.
3. SureThing, unlike Canon* or Nero**, but like Acoustica, has built-in printer templates for a variety of direct-to-CD printers, including my HP PhotoSmart.
4. SureThing, just like Canon and Nero, but unlike Acoustica, can import images from a TWAIN*** device - a scanner.
5. SureThing, unlike Canon or Nero, but on par with Acoustica, has a bunch of nice design templates and artwork you can use or adapt.

*It has templates to work with Canon direct-to-CD printers of course, but it doesn't work with other brands.
**Nero can manually create custom templates, but the process is so painstakingly tedious and hit or miss as to discourage all but the most persevering geek. I know, I've done it. There are a couple here for some Canon models, depending on whether you have a Tray B or Tray F.

Of course, there's always also the Photoshop route.

I would not recommend the Epson Print CD software that comes with Epson printers. Not that it's bad for designing labels, but it's the only one of the bunch, along with Nero, that doesn't have a save/export-as-image option, meaning that you're stuck with its proprietary .ec3 format and it only works on Epson printers. When you no longer have an Epson printer, like when my Epson R300 died, all your designs are no longer printable. They die with the machine, pretty much.
