well, i have had problems with CD/DVD labels. they do, as you've said, tend to come loose, or get off balance in the player. the solution that i went with, and it may not be for you, was to buy a printer that could print directly onto the disc.
i can recommend the Epson R200 as a printer that puts out pretty darn good photo prints, and can print directly to inkjet printable CD/DVDs. in my opinion, the results of printed DVDs far surpass those with printed stickers, as it gives them a nice professional look. the Epson R200 can be had for under a hundred buck online, and uses six different ink wells, so that you only need to replace one if you run out, not a whole color cartridge, just because you run out of cyan. i recently bought a few packs of 50 memorex and TDK printable (16x speed) DVD-Rs at compUSA for under $14.00 a pack. it's an idea, and if you are in the market for a new printer anyway, one to really consider.
