Step 2: Create the booklet from side

a. Place the title on the booklet front side Click the button (see the picture below) to switch to the front view

Click the Add text label button (1). As the result, the new text block (2) will appear on the booklet view.

left direction until the picture covers the whole booklet. If you need to adjust the position of the picture, click the ‘move image’ button again and start dragging the picture until you place it to your liking.

Now the front side of your booklet is ready. In our case, we used roses as a background image, so you can see the result below:

Step 3: Create the rear side of the booklet

Create a numbered list of songs - In AV CD Cover, you can quickly make a numbered list of songs, including information about author, title, album, duration, etc. In our case, you will build the list based on the files you are going to burn to CD. This numbered list will consist of the following fields: the song title, the author and the duration time.

For that, click the button (see the picture below) to switch to the rear view.

- In the Select properties dialog box click the buttons: Track (1), Title(2), Artist(3), File size(4). These properties will be added to the list box as shown below:

Select all the columns with the mouse and change the text color to pink like you did in Step 2a Then drag the selection to the center of the booklet. The result should look like at the picture below:
