CD and DVD Labeling with LightScribe
I've been making a lot of recordings onto CDs and DVDs lately (especially recordings from my Tivo) and I've been wanting a simple way to label them.
The simplest method that I've found is the good old Sharpie permanent ink pen, but my penmanship leaves a lot to be desired. I'm looking for something a bit more snazzy.
I've used labels and they're pretty good, but boy I find it's a lot of extra work. I have not tried printable CDs and DVDs - those come with a white surface and you put them into an inkjet printer like the Epson R200. I don't have an R200 nor place the place to put it.
Lately though my interested has been piqued by the LightScribe. It is a new technology that burns a label right onto the surface of the CD or DVD. Their motto is Burn - Flip - Burn. Once you've made your recording, you flip it over to burn the label. That sounds pretty convenient!
I haven't purchased a LightScribe burner yet, but when I do I will report back to you about my experience. In the mean time, send me your CD and DVD labeling experiences and suggestions.
