Just to add my two-pennyworth ...
One of the best available labelling programs is actually portable. It does not modify any system files, and installation just copies two files to your hard drive, a program file and an art database. It can even run from a CD. It is DISCUS available from ...

Just to see what you could have for the money try out the Demo! It really is brilliant.
I assume that actually you're after freeware.
In my database I have notes on :
1. UndercoverXP from
http://www.undercoverxp.tk/
This is a program to easily print CD and DVD covers. It supports JPEG, GIF, PNG and BMP formats and can automatically scale front covers, back covers, front + inside, inlays, DVD Boxes, Digital Pictures and CD/DVD labels to the correct sizes.
2. eCover from
http://www.esoftware.it/eCover/
eCover is a FREE media case-covers search/editing/printing software.
Among other features you can ...
- Search several web sites for covers (all types: DVD, Audio, PS2, PSX, Gamecube), and directly load them into eCover
- Autoconvert covers from DVD (standard) format into CD (front+back) or Mini CD/DVD (front/back)
- Load, autoresize and print covers in CD (front+back), DVD (standard), Stomper, Mini CD/DVD formats
I have not tested these for true portability as they are no use to me personally. I need to be able to print the actual CD and neither of these has that ability.
I actually use Surething but I keep thinking about migrating to Discus.
