How to Print Song and Album Information from iTunes

You can print a CD jewel case insert and song list for a CD that you have burned in iTunes. You can even print the cover art. If you have a color printer, you can print high-quality color inserts for your CDs. If you don’t have a suitable printer, you can save your document as a Portable Document Format (PDF) file that you can print at a Kinko’s or similar copy shop.

Printing inserts

Jewel cases have slots for inserting a printed insert or booklet. You can print your own insert directly from iTunes via the burn playlist. To print a CD insert, follow these steps:

1. Select the album for which you want to print the artwork, and then choose File→Print.

   The Print dialog appears.

2. From the iTunes Print dialog, select the CD Jewel Case Insert option.

3. Choose a theme from the Theme pop-up menu.

   Themes include Text Only (without song artwork), Mosaic (with artwork from songs arranged in a mosaic), and Single Cover (with one song’s artwork).

4. (Optional) Click the Page Setup button to set page layout options, such as landscape or portrait orientation.

   The CD insert themes automatically set the proper orientation, but you can change them in the Page Setup dialog.

5. Click the Print button and then follow your normal printing procedures.

Printing song lists

You have several options for printing a song list, to make sure that you get the information you want.

1. Choose File→Print.

2. Select the Song Listing option.

3. Choose one of the following themes for the song listing from the Theme pop-up menu:

   • Songs: This theme prints a column for each song name, duration, artist, and album title.

   • User Ratings: This theme prints the same columns as the Songs theme and adds a column with the ratings that you assign in iTunes. This theme prints in landscape orientation.

   • Dates Played: This theme prints the same columns as the Songs theme and adds columns for the play count and the date last played, set by iTunes when you play songs. This theme prints in landscape orientation.

   • Custom: This theme prints the columns as they’re set in the iTunes Song List pane. You can print any piece of information about the songs that iTunes stores, such as composer, genre, and year.

4. Click the Print button and then follow your normal printing procedures.

   To print a catalog-style album listing, select the Album Listing option in the dialog. This option prints the album title, artist, song names, and song lengths.
