Description
eCover is media-case-cover search, editing, and printing software. Through the easy and user-friendly interface of eCover you can search several Web sites for covers (all types: DVD, Audio, PS2, PSX, and Gamecube), and directly load them into eCover; Autoconvert covers from DVD (standard) format into CD (front and back) or Mini CD/DVD (front/back); Load, autoresize and print covers in CD (front and back), DVD (standard), and Stomper.
Version 1.0.5 adds support for proxy server, updates form with link to homepage, adds command-line argument, and also has minor fixes.
Review
In comparison to other cover-creation tools, this one seems rather limited, though it is free and simple to operate. eCover's nonresizeable interface is no design masterpiece, but the large, self-explanatory icons make it tough to get lost. After selecting from CD, DVD, and Stomper templates, you can easily add front- and back-cover images and print it all up. If you want to adjust the actual size of the cover templates, hit the Edit Print Templates icon. If you don't have the cover art on your machine, eCover can retrieve it from the Web, though it wasn't always 100 succesful in doing so. We wish we knew where the program was finding its images, but since there are no help files, this remains a mystery. And although you will find an icon that supposedly lets you edit your cover, we're baffled as to what it's for, since we didn't find any actual editing tools or implements for drawing and writing. eCover will work for basic and occasional disc-cover-creation tasks, but power users should keep on looking.
