Sorry, I also forgot to say that I found that glue is kind of melted by the heat of the CD-burning process, ie. found that if a paper-label is glued on before burning, the glue then becomes unstuck during the burning (but it's still clamped down in the disc-drive, thanks to having a small hole). So obviously I now simply glue the paper-label on after burning the CD.

I forgot to say (& don't know how to add it to previous post) that of course precautions must be taken to stop the paper CD-label flying off & jamming-up the disc-drive! I've found that the only precaution needed, but this is very important, is to have the middle circle/hole only a couple of millimetres bigger than the CD-case-spider, so that the paper-label & its CD are both clamped down together in the CD-drive.

This won't be to everyone's taste but it suits me! I print my CD-labels on paper (using my own designed layout files, but there'll be blank files available online) on a laser printer (mono) cos laser-printing doesn't smudge (but laser toner's probably not eco cos I recently understand that the toner is really ultra-fine black plastic) & glue them to the CD, obviously using minimal-solvent glue (identified by lack of glue-smell!) – I find that glue-sticks wrinkle the paper (who'd've thought?!) & so I use either a glue-roller (if in a hurry) or "non-wrinkle glue" which is unfortunately difficult to spread evenly for no lumps (although I only do 2 circles of glue, outer & inner) but at least with that I get through less glue-containers/plastic. Oh ar, I cut out the paper discs using scissors – I bought a circle-cutter (recommended by friend, only £3) but found its centre-point just enlarged its tiny hole in the middle (I'd marked the middle with a 3rd, tiny circle) & so thenceforth it cuts the rest of the circle off-centre; clearly there's some technique to this that I'm lacking! - such as perhaps using the cutter on a softish surface so that the centre-point sticks in a bit &/or cutting several layers at once (as my friend does, but he's cutting flyers shaped like beermats! - hence he's cutting loads, whereas I'm only cutting 1-3 CD-labels!)
