“Discus is, bar none, the best labelling software I have come across (and I've tried them all.) for Mac OS X! Period. No contest! I smile every time I launch it because it is so easy, versatile, and downright fun to use. My first CD label was gorgeous, thanks to the wonderful artwork included with Discus, AND it was a perfectly registered fit the CD first time on that same first label. No wasted ink, paper, or labels. It's reassuring that, if needed, tweaking the registration is available and easy to use. Thanks again for a great product and above average customer service and support. I'm hooked on Discus. Keep up the outstanding work.”
