How to print artwork/text for CDs and CD case

Question

I’m posting this in both iTunes and GarageBand, since I’m not sure which is more appropriate.
I want to create sleeves, or jackets, or whatever they’re called for my CD cases. Does anyone know of a good program and materials that would work for this?
I want it to be capable of doing the following:
1) import artwork, and/or a photo, and print it on the front cover;
2) be able to incorporate printed text on, or over, that;
3) be able to include text for the inside of the cover (maybe a small photo or two, or artwork, on that inside cover (to list tunes and instruments played, for example);
4) include compatibility to print on round paper that would adhere to the CD itself...along with some kind of little “thing” that would facilitate placing that, with some kind of adhesive I guess, onto the CD;
5) and, be compatible with OSX 10.3.9 (Panther).
Your advice, suggestions, deeply appreciated.

To print the Jewel case for the CD in iTunes:
1. Create and name the playlist you want for the CD
2. File > Print
3. Select the "CD Jewel Case Insert" button on the top of the window
4. Select the style of CD Jewel Case insert you want from the pop-up list in the bottom of the window and read the description of the style and look at the picture of the style to understand what you'll get.
To print onto the CD itself, you have three choices:
1. The old fashioned round sticky label. There used to be many versions of this software available from many company's complete with software and labels for about $10-$20. These are great for making nice labels, but as mentioned in another post, can throw off the balance of the CD in the player and can in some instances make the CD unplayable. As a result, they're not as readily available nowadays. Try Office Depot or Office Max.
2. Buy a burner that prints directly onto the CD. As mentioned, this can be expensive.
3. Buy a printer which has the "print directly onto CD" option included. This is a little pricer than the average printer, but printers are pretty cheap nowadays so that's not all that bad.
