BearBoy Posted July 14 Report Share Posted July 14 So a few years back I bought a load of the mini jewel cases and started to use a free template that was online (www.minidisccover.com). Unfortunately I'd only made a small number when they started charging a fee to access the template (I think it was something like £50 for 6 months) and I haven't really found a suitable alternative since. I'm not really up to speed with design applications etc so don't really know the best way of creating one of my own. Anyway, here's one I did whilst the site was still free: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearBoy Posted July 14 Report Share Posted July 14 I had a little play about in Microsoft Publisher and have managed to pull together a template for jewel case inlays using the measurements from https://www.bandcds.co.uk/minidisc/minidisc-duplication-and-production/ Might try to make an insert to go in the MDW80T slipcases next.

BearBoy Posted July 15 Report Share Posted July 15 I made a template for the MDW80T slipcases. It fits well enough but the sort of frosted finish on the cases means that the inlay doesn't show through terribly well, at least not with the test one I made. Might need to experiment with different colours/fonts a bit and see if I can make it more legible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was even wondering if it was someone I actually knew before I finally twigged 🤦♂️ On 7/29/2023 at 12:38 PM, kgallen said: …yes I am sad and try to match the MD colour to the album artwork! One of the little pleasures the format brings 😀 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted October 28 Report Share Posted October 28 I should probably do some proper pictorials for these, but I'm a bit lazy, so for now I'll just throw in a selection of random shots of some recent (well last 6 months let's say) acquisitions.. .

"I'll just chuck in some shots" he says, then proceeds (as always) to upload studio-grade pictures! Nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing to be embarrassed about! All photos are appreciated! I have a kind of standardized setup that I have been using for a few years, with a light tent, my handheld camera and some minor edits on the computer afterwards. Far from pro, but it still takes a while sometimes. I usually go through short "spurts" of output, often punctuated by months of having no time and / or laziness😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearBoy Posted November 6 Report Share Posted November 6 Here's another one of my dodgy photos 🤦♂️ 🤣 I made a couple of MiniDiscs of "deluxe" versions of a pair of old PJ Harvey albums. Plenty of space using LP2 to get the original albums, bonus tracks, B sides, radio sessions and demos etc on each. Just need to print out a couple of inlays for them now.

And your pictorial posts are always very much appreciated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
