CD cover design

Can anyone recommend a jewelcase cover design program that can read tracklists created by CD architect? It seems a lot of effort when designing a cover to have to retype the tracklist.

Thanks

I use SureThing, which will go on-line and get play lists. This assumes, however, that your CD is already in the database.
Beyond that, no retyping is necessary. Copy/paste is my friend.

I'll have a look at that, however most of the stuff I am doing is not available from online databases. Copy is OK but still a bit laborious.

CD Arch will export a track list to a .txt file or copy it to the clipboard. SureThing CD Labeler will import the text file, or you can do a Ctrl-v. Or it will read the list directly from the CD.

Thanks for that. I've downloded a trial copy so we'll see how it goes.

FWIW I have used SureThing for over 5 (?) years ! 95% for face-face design/printing though, not from existing tracks/lists ....
