Although it has shortcomings and limitations, those are more than made up by the accuracy of the built-in templates.
I have used a few other CD/DVD labelling applications, and they all required me to endlessly tweak and adjust the settings when using the standard templates that were supposed to match various label templates, and even when printing directly onto discs.
DiscLabel just worked for me.
It could be that I was just lucky. Without any detailed information about why the other reviewers find this software doesn't meet their expectations, I can't comment on their reviews in any meaningful way.
As I mentioned earlier, DiscLabel isn't perfect.
One strange bit of behaviour I experienced with it, was when upgrading to a newer version, the colours of previously saved designs were inverted/corrupted.
Fortunately I didn't need those designs any more. If I had needed them, it would have been a huge inconvenience to repeat the work.
One item I would wish for, is the ability to save or export designs for archiving and exchange with others. (Exporting editable designs into a common interchange format would be ideal.)
Even with the shortcomings, I find myself returning to DiscLabel whenever I need to print labels onto optical media.

It performs that function well, burning the label to a disc in my Pioneer external drive with no significant problems.
I appreciate the effort to link into the iLife suite.
I do not like the program's interface. Several parts of it look visually broken in Leopard, with random rectangles and shading scattered around the window. After using many beautiful Mac apps over the past several years, this feels like a return to Windows shareware in terms of UI appeal.
Other apps perform similar on-screen layout functions with a much better "feel" ... perhaps the devs should take a look at what others are doing for a little inspiration. Mac users like standard toolbars, palettes, HUDs, etc.
Also, I do not like being bugged to consider purchasing their Business Pack of graphics every time I start my PAID, REGISTERED app as of v5.1.2. Clicking "Later" results in me seeing the offer every time I start the app.
Basically while this works well for what it advertises, it feels like a Panther app that's not quite at home on Leopard in many senses. There are no functionality problems, though ... if you want to burn LightScribe discs with plenty of control over your label, you probably need DiscLabel.

This is not an intuitive program. Too many buttons that work with iLife need to have a pref to remove them if one does not use iLife, iPhoto, and so forth.
I was really hoping this would do what I wanted, but it was frustrating to use.

So far, I have been very pleased with the results from this program and customer support.

Given that I have none of these issues with other programs I have recently installed, I would appreciate if the developers could release a version that allows drag&drop installation from a disk image. Then, all I have to do is authenticate via the OS, which is easy enough.

Disclabel desperately needs a eyedropper tool for color matching, too, and better font/character formatting options, like line height, etc. Also, it doesn't offer hardly any image management or manipulation capabilities.
I hope the developers roll up their sleeves and go to work improving this program. It does have potential to be a worthwhile app.
