Although I made sure it had lightscribe ability when I bought
the (external) drive, I've never actually had any such discs.


Hmm. All of my burners are lightscribe capable. I've used the
feature one time with one of them...While it was cool enough I
suppose, the time and funny smell from doing it wasn't worth it
in the long run to me. I'll just stick to a sharpie.


I made a little music cd of myself playing guitar. Lghtscribe was
nice for giving friends a copy as it made disk look very
professionally done. I think with the lables they're obviously a
label and therefore not so nice. I used software called SureThing
CD Labeler to do it. Worked fine but it's not free.

Burn music in uder 5 minutes, turn disk over and burn label/image
takes more like 20 min. but it comes out looking like you expect
and is more or less permanent.


I wasn't knocking lightscribe. It does result in more professional
looking work than using a printed label. If I were making discs I
intended to distribute, I'd likely go that route myself; so long as
the discs were of a small amount.

In my case, the majority of the discs I burn aren't intended for
distribution, so a Sharpie usually does the trick. It's quite
possible the Sharpie will fade over time, but that's generally okay
due to the contents becoming outdated long before then.
