Mike I suspect you didn't get much reply because most people don't really understand how valuable such things are. To be able to scan anything in you home including cd's and DVD's and no what they are for those of us who don't have sighted assistance at our beck and call is worth the frustrations. Most of the devices out there let you create your own labels to is the bar code isn't registered.
