Thread Name: After recording a CD then what?
Subject: RE: After recording a CD then what?
"What do people mostly do now about the words to the listed songs? I've seen that some still print them in the jacket which is best in my opinion but adds greatly to the cost because of the increase in the jacket panels. I see that some prefer to post them on their web sites. "

Speaking from a DJ point of view, we like to see the lyrics - especially now that FCC fines could take our homes away if we play something that is considered "obscene".   While I doubt that the songs you have chose fall into that catagory, and DJ's should pre-listen anyway, the DJ does like to see the lyrics at their fingertips and can't be bothered to go to ta website.

Speaking as a consumer, I can go either way. I have noticed that often "traditional" do not reproduce lyrics in their booklets but usually write a description of the song and the reason the artist chose it.   I love to read lyrics so that would be my "vote", but I can certainly live without them.
