    Hi- I have a bunch of CD-Rs lying around, and would like to make cover art for the cases. Is there a free program that helps me get the correct size for a CD case and helps design the artwork?

    Also, what kind of case do I need so I can have artwork on the front and back (like a regular case)? Thanks, Kegan

    You just need regular cd jewel cases. They're at office supply stores. You should be able to see the thickness of the case through the package (slim-cases are much thinner, but they don't hold the back cover art.)

    Download.com has a lot of software for cd cover designers, but it looks like a lot of them are trial software, not totally free. Go to www.download.com and search 'cd covers' if you want to see them.

    @ kzm007 Free covers.net has a lot of free CD covers also XP under cover will hook you up with the right dimensions for whatever cases you pick up. Chris
