Depends on which bootleg.

I always use www.darkalice.de for bootleg information. It's an utter goldmine of TSOM boot info.

Not that I bother with covers any more (it's a bit much to keep covers for around 250 CDs and DVDs) but I generally went with making my own.

Also do my own. Need to upload some in the weeding section probably....

Why not use black print on white paper - get 2 sleeves to a sheet of A4 using the power of MS Word?
Saves ink and has the additional benefits of protecting you from dodgy spelling, design and tracklists which include songs called On The Wine or Zero...

DIY for me too.

Free downloads from coverxp ( http://www.coverxp.com/main.asp ), combined with Google images.

Hours of fun for all the family. :wink:

I've been searching for them too every now and then, so I know where to find 'em by now :D clicky (on the site it's under traders, and scroll down a bit after that)

I used word documents myself, before, but now I just stock my boots in paper sleeve, on which I take notes about quality and stuff :oops:

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: A true classic, as is 'Fist & Last & Always'. :eek:

Nero Cover Designer is my software of choice. Boots need covers, I've designed hundreds of the bloody things, including covers for 2006 gigs that may not even exist. :eek: :roll: May I join you in your shame, Zeno? :wink: :lol: :oops:

Always welcome :lol:

I used Nero before I went to Word too, but that was much more of a fuzz, in Word I could just paste the tracklist, hit enter a couple of times et voilà :lol:

@ The wrong song titles: :lol: :notworthy: :lol: :notworthy: :lol:

One problem with doing 'designs' in word is that it probably doesn't render type very well. Tend to do mine in Photoshop and save them out (or print them straight out). Also, Word does not let you handle the resolution. From a design point of view it is not something you would use I suppose, but if it works for you....

I use a program called 'MediaFACE', which I find pretty effective and easy to use. You can easily import picture images, and it's pretty flexible in terms of text (font, size, colour, various effects).

MediaFACE is pretty much created for doing covers and you seem to be able to import Photoshop templates. However, seems to me that they are really for prefab type sheets and they don't do double sided.
