Printing Playlists and CD Covers

In earlier versions of iTunes, you had to do a lot of gymnastics just to make a nice-looking song list to tuck into the CD jewel case of a freshly burned disc: Export the playlist as a text file, import it into a word-processing program, style the type, and 6 hours later…Print. With iTunes 4.5 or later, you just choose File → Print, select a preformatted option, and click the Print button.

As you can see from Figure 5-28, the Print dialog box is full of choices.

  • You can print out a perfectly sized insert for a CD jewel case, complete with song list on one side and a miniature mosaic of all your album artwork on the other—or just a plain list of songs on a solid color background. (If you choose to make a CD insert, your resulting printout even comes with handy crop marks you can use to guide your X-Acto blade when trimming it down to size.)

  • If you want something simpler, you can opt for a straightforward list of all the songs on the playlist.

  • You can also print out a list of all the albums that have contributed songs to your playlist, complete with album title, artist name, and the songs’ titles and times for each track culled from that particular album.
