Printing rear CD jewel case list

Question

HI
It doesn't seem possible to print a 'jewel' case insert for the rear part of my CD case from itunes, using a playlist. I can of course create the front portion, with a playlist, but not the rear, so I can easily see the playlist without opening the case, and also to see the album title/artist when I put the CD in my CD rack.
Am I wrong? If not, does anyone have an elegant solution to perhaps export the list to another application that will print what I want
Cheers
Neil

Check out The Print Shop 2 for OS X, from Broderbund and Software Mackiev. It has specific support for printing on CD insert kits from Avery and others. Several of the templates include a spine for the edge of a CD case.
If you don't want to pay the high price of the commercial die cut inserts, you can print on plain paper (letter or A4) and use a paper cutter. Inkjet paper sold for brochure printing is particularly nice for front of case booklets because it is photo quality, double sided, and a good weight.
The program will import playlist contents from iTunes (your choice of fields such as title, artist, composer ...), and unlike the iTunes print command you can edit and reformat the result using whatever fonts, colours etc you want. Wide choice of styles for title printing, and for cropping pictures in various shapes. Also support for directly printing on a printable CD or DVD with some Epson or Canon inkjets. What it does not do unfortunately is import cover art automatically, but copy and paste works well.
I've been using this program for over a year, and keep finding new things to do with it. It's also great if you ever want to create certificates or greeting cards.
