Well, I guess this technology called LightScribe will be coming soon. 'Suppose you have just created a compilation CD of a dozen or so of your favorite songs. Now you want to make a label that contains the song titles, artists' names, and some personal information and design elements to make it special. First, burn your tracks onto the data side of the disc. Then open your favorite LightScribe-enabled label-making software and go to the CD template work area. Now you do all of your creative design workcompose pictures, copy, artwork whatever. When you are satisfied with what you have done, take the disc out of your drive, flip it over to the label side and put it back in the drive. Now go back to your label-making software, and simply click print.'" Seen this thought it was cool enough to post

Hey lickablepig,

Thanks for the info. I think this is going to take off (if the price is right, of course). There will be no need for any other hardware but the proper supported media, and the drive itself to burn the image and to burn the label onto the CD. Such a brilliant idea!
