ckCover is a program to design and print CD covers or CD inlays. After trying a lot of programs and templates for Word, I concluded they didn't work properly or introduced viruses. So I decided to write a CD cover program myself. I'm happy with the resu< It does do exactly what I wanted.

After reading the picture for the front cover it is scaled and placed on the right position. After reading the text for the back cover it places itself on the right place, also the splines will be filled with the right text.
On the help pages you will find a description of how to download the front pictures and the contents list for the back from the internet.
