UnCoverIt is a shareware application that automatically generates labels for different kinds of storage medias.
Unlike other label printing applications you don't have to enter the name of the files on your disk manually. UnCoverIt scans your disk and places icons and file names at the right place and the right size automatically.
UnCoverIt can create covers for either data volumes or Audio CDs. Data covers can be generated for a volume or a single folder on your hard disk. You can add as many volumes or folder to one cover as you like.
UnCoverIt comes with cover layouts for the following storage medias:
-CD-ROM
-Audio-CD
-Iomega ZIP
-Iomega JAZ
-Iomation SuperDisk
-MO-Cartridges
-ORB drives
Audio CD covers can be made from a folder of MP3 files, a track list thats saved in your Macintoshs "CD Remote Programs" file or an AudioCD inside your Macintoshs CD-ROM drive. See the note at the bottom of this file how you can use the CDDB to create covers for your disks.
UnCoverIt quick start
Just insert your storage media into your computer, start UnCoverIt, select a disk to be scanned - there you go.
To see a folders content click the folders icon in the cover window.
To hide a file/folder from the output option-click its icon in the cover window.
Drag a second volume onto the cover-window if you want to print covers for multi-session cd
If the output gets too small to read, you can open a folder by clicking the triangle next to it in the Hierachy window. You can also hide items in the Hierachy Window by clicking the "Eye" - icon.
Refer to the enclosed manual for more information.

Note on CDDB support:
UnCoverIt can't connect to the CDDB database directly. However, you can use Toby W. Rush's excellent utility NetCD to fetch a CD's title and track names from the CDDB database. NetCD stores the track names in the "CD Remote Program" file inside your Preferences folder, which is also used by the AppleCD Audio Player. UnCoverIt searches this file every time you create a new audio cover.
NetCD is freeware. Download it from <http://www.tobyrush.com>.
