CNET Editors' review
Although not at the top of its class, this free CD-label creator gets the job done. Upon launch, the attractive, tabbed interface offers you several templates for creating CD labels, jewel cases, and DVD booklets. After selecting your design, you can add any images you'd like, though the program's library of included backgrounds and pictures is extremely small. If your selected graphic doesn't fit exactly, you can simply drag it around until it reaches the desired size. When adding text, you must reposition each line by moving a small box around, as the included templates don't have predesigned entries for adding track or artist information. Also, though you can change font size and style, it's curious that you can't bold or italicize any text. Still, EZ Label Xpress Lite is totally free and doesn't disable the printing function as many competitors do, making it a quality pick for those who need to create very basic CD and DVD labels.

"Excellent Results"
Version: EZ Label Xpress Lite 2.5
Pros
Did a project for my brother and he loved it. A quote from an email from him, "Was really impressed with how they turned out. You did a really nice job on them. Thanks again
Once I got the hang of it, the five CDs and two DVDs were a snap to do. Even incorporated one of my pictures as a back ground. Was/is fun to use.Cons
Choices are a little limited for back ground, titleing and listing of songs, but, for free, you can not beat it.
Summary
Beautiful results, professionally looking, and fun to use. At this point I see no reason to purchase a "complicated" program when this more than meets my needs. Now, I'm looking for reasons to play with it more.

"Free version is not very good."
Version: EZ Label Xpress Lite 2.5
Pros
Don't know
Cons
Does not do light scribe or allow you to import your own photos for labels
Summary
Seems as though they don't want to give you much so that you will need to buy their upgraded version.

"I don't waste time with toys..."
Version: EZ Label Xpress Lite 2.5
Pros
I suppose it would work for some people who don't need very much.
Cons
I needed it to print a full-bleed label and couldn't. If it can do this, I couldn't figure out how to do it. As such, it was a waste of my time.

"Wouldn't install in XP"
Version: EZ Label Xpress Lite 2.5
Pros
Never got a chance to find out.
Cons
Never got a chance to find out.
Summary
Contacted their customer services people with details of the error message; they asked for a purchase order number, and when I explained I had downloaded for free from download.com I heard nothing more...

"You Get What You Pay For"
Version: EZ Label Xpress Lite 2.5
Pros
Seemed nice at first. Seemed user friendly at first. But then...
Cons
Automatically defaulted to Bold type face no matter what I did. Extremely frustrating. Did not have the time to waste on this useless software.
Summary
Removed the program after an hour. Don't bother messing with it.

"Nice! Just the thing!"
Version: EZ Label Xpress Lite 2.5
Pros
So easy to figure out. And it does the trick very nicely.
Cons
Nothing I can think of.
Summary
I've done DVD case covers and DVD/CD labels - with pictures and text combined. I'm now on Windows 7 (64-bit) and it's still working. Just a simple little program that gets the job done.

Does the job required
Cons

"Argh! Can't select label brand!"
Version: EZ Label Xpress Lite 2.5
Pros
Looks to be easy to use.
Cons
I didn't even get to really try the software because it doesn't allow you to select your label brand -- you get ONE choice for CD/DVD label layout, and it's not the kind of labels I have.
Summary
I'm sure it's great and simple for users that have the type of labels that it supports. But for the rest of us, it's useless.
