Title: Media Center & Lightscribe Technology
Post by: tcman41 on February 15, 2006, 03:19:05 pm

Will there be a plugin in the future that will enable lightscribing of track lists straight out of media center?

Thanks
TC

That looks really clever!
Do the LightScribe drives just appear as a printer driver?

It would be nice if J river includes Light Scribe In The Future, I do not see this as a 3rd party plug-in

I am not sure if J river can get a driver from light scribe to drive the printing, maybe

That would be awesome. I just got a new HP laptop with lightscribe and would love to be able to use MC to burn lightscribe CD's.

Yup i just got a benq lightscribe dvd burner, the thing is freakin awesome.

I can now archive 96 mp3 albums to one dual layer dvd and then of course lightscribe a awesome graphic on the disc.

Or burn about 7 mp3 albums worth to a standard cd, lightscribe it and then play it in my mp3 compatiable car stereo head end unit (which i plan to buy shortly) for about 7 hours of continuous music.

And how much do the discs cost? Or can any discs be used?

The image burn takes about 20 minutes.

To do lightscribing you need three things:

1. A burner that has lightscribe technology

2. lightscribe software, it can be obtained free at lightscribe.com

3. lightscribe media discs, currently about 90 cents a piece.

They have to be Lightscribe discs - I get mine from dabs at about £4 for 10, and use Nero to "print".  No colour, but they still look great.

If I burn, say 8 albums for the MP3 player in the car, I'll print all the cover art on the disc - takes about 20 minutes. Printing a small amount of text tho only takes a minute or so.
