It will not import MP3 CD Burner
Play lists (.CBS) and says that some tracks are missing!
MP3 CD Burner
.CBS Play lists created with MP3 CD Burner 2.0 and greater require
that you have CD Label Maker 1.20 or greater.
How can I import
the song titles from the CD I burned so I don't have to type them
all in?
If you burned
an audio CD, the Label Maker can usually import your song information
from the playlist file you created with your CD Burner program.
When you burned the CD, your CD Burning software should have created
a file storing the names of all the song files that you were burning
onto the CD. If you didn't save this list, please do so from now
on -- it will save you lots of typing.
If you click the "Tracks" button on the CD Label Maker's toolbar
to launch the CD Contents dialog and then click the "Import" button
on that dialog, the Label Maker will pop up a dialog that lets you
find & select the playlist file you used to create your CD.
Once you select the file, the Label Maker will scan the playlist
file, load your song information from it, and display it in the
CD Contents dialog.
If you burned your CD with the Acoustica MP3 CD Burner, you can
click the "CD Label" button on the CD Burner's toolbar and the CD
Burner will launch the Label Maker and automatically tell it the
names, artists, and lengths of all your songs. If the Acoustica
CD Burner asks if you want to save before it launches the Label
Maker, click the "yes" button.
Can I import my own graphics and put them
on labels?
Acoustica CD
Label Maker provides two ways to find images on your computer that
you can add to your labels:
1) Click on the "Art Search" tab, enter some text that's in the
file or folder names of the art you're looking for, and click the
"Search" button. Thumbnails of all supported image files matching
your search terms will appear in the window underneath the search
button. We support jpg, bmp, png, and pcx graphics types.
2) Click on the "Art Explore" tab, and parse through the explorer
tree to see thumbnails of all the supported image files in a particular
folder.
If you've found an image you want to make your background, you can
do it one of these ways:
-
Double-left-click on the image's thumbnail to make it the
background
-
Ctrl + double-click
the thumbnail to make it a tiled background
-
Right-click
on the image's thumbnail and select one of the "Set as background"
options.
If the image you've selected doesn't have the same aspect ratio
as the label you're putting it on, it may appear stretched or squished.
It that's the case, you can select the image's thumbnail, it onto
the label, and release the mouse button, then click on the sizing
bars to make it big enough to overlap the label without altering
its aspect ratio, and click on its title bar or the image itself
to position it where you want it.
If you¡¯ve found an image you want to add to your
label as a piece of clip art (rather than as the label background),
just left-click on its thumbnail, drag it onto your label, and release
the mouse button. The program will place the image where you dropped
it. As soon as you drop it, it should be in ¡°selected¡± mode, with
sizing bars and a toolbar. You can click on the image¡¯s sizing bars
to resize the image; you can click on the image¡¯s title bar or the
image itself to move it. You can also right-click on the image to
pop up a menu with a variety of editing options.
You can also drag image files from Windows Explorer
and drop them onto your label.
I imported my own graphic for
a label background and the art looks squished (or stretched).
Your background
graphic may look squished or stretched if it has a dramatically
different aspect ratio from the label you're putting it on. When
you insert a picture as a label background, it will get either stretched
or compressed to fit the dimensions of the label you're putting
it on. If your image is twice as wide as it is high, for instance,
and you try to make it the background for the jewel case front,
which is square, your image may appear squished.
To avoid this, you can either use images that are roughly the same
shape (and aspect ratio) as the labels you want to put them on,
or you can add them to the label as regular clip art rather than
as backgrounds, so you can resize them however you like. You can
do this by just clicking on the image's thumbnail and dragging it
onto the label. You can then move & resize it so that it covers
the entire label. It will keep its original aspect ratio unless
you right-click on it and uncheck the "maintain aspect ratio" option.
You can click the "send to back" button on its toolbar to make sure
it appears behind everything else.
