I just bought a Light Scribe enabled cd/dvd combo drive and was wondering about a few things concerning it; I figured I may stop by here and see if you all have any of the info I need on it.

1. What types of cd-rs are able to do Light Scribe? Should they be labeled as Light Scribe enabled, or are most cds able to work with Light Scribe?

2. Do regular burning programs work with Light Scribe? I use itunes, would I have to update to the latest version to use Light Scribe? Where would it be located within itunes if this were the case?

Other info regarding it would be appreciated, but those are my main questions.

You will need special Light Scribe CD-R's. It will say it on the package. For example: http://www.compusa.com/products/pro...la=&cm_ite=feed

Regular burning programs will work fine for recording data, but there will be special software with your drive to record the label.

1 lightScribe CDs / DvDs

2 Apart from the thermal printable label, they're regular discs

As other people have said, they need to be lightscribe discs. The bottom of the disc that holds the data is just like any other disc...you can use whatever you're using now. The label has to be burned in a lightscribe program though...Nero is the one I use.

So you can burn your music in itunes if you want, then open up Nero and burn the label afterwards.

You could....or you could just print it out yourself.

Or in the case of lightscribe, you can burn the picture to the lightscribe disc.
