I tried the stick on labels and the CDs would hang up in my truck CD player. They worked fine on trays that slide out or players that did not have a narrow slot for inserting the CDs. I bought an Epson for the studio at work and it worked very well, but as said by several above you have to have printable CDs which are around the same price as the normal CD-Rs. I am now using an HP printer at home and it is not perfect but does a creditable label. It also prints with Lightscribe. The software that comes with the printer is not all that great but I have been using an Acoustic program which is not all that expensive and you can download it to try it out before buying. Once you purchase the program all updates are free. It works quite well with the HP printer. Lightscribe has improved but is fairly slow. You need a special disc and you flip it over once it has been burned and Lightscribe works on the CD while it is in the CD drive. I have been satisfied with these labels as well.
