Thin label stickers for cd-r case sides?

Hi all,
I've been doing a lot of cd burning lately, mostly bootlegs of live music. I use Mitsui's which are great and come with an insert card to write a track list. However when I put these discs in my rack there's nothing on the side to let me know what it is. Is there perhaps a long skinny stick-on label that I could buy to label my cd cases? Or is there some other answer I'm missing? Thanks for taking the time to read this and for any potential help.

fooling around I made a label and stuck it on a thin CD-ROM cover edge. PERFECT!! the letters are about 1/2 the width of the full thickness of the side, and are clear and easy to read.
ps: The item is sold at office supply stores, and Best Buy. The tape that the P-Touch uses comes in a variety of colors and text colors!!!
I have white/ black letters
Black/white letters
Red/white letters
yellow/black letters
gold/black letters
you get the idea.
also buy a lot of tape if you find a good selection of colors... often, all the tape is sold out ;^(

there are software programs for making the actual disk liners. I use a mac with toast software - it also has an excellent label making program. When you insert a disk it goes to the internet and get a song list. It then allows you to export that list to the label software. A true no-brainer.

Great news, I've been using an electric engraver (Dremel).

Thanks Elizabeth that's just what I was looking for! And don't worry, I'm labeling my Dead bootlegs I just recorded from tape to cd-r.
