Everything about CD labels

So I’ve made a mistake.

The CDs for the show I burnt, have a slight mistake. They don’t autorun.

At first, I thought this was pretty bad, so I looked into alternate solutions for reburning 200 CDs, with my pretty pictures on the front.

Option 1 was Discmakers, but too expensive. So I looked into option 2, which is Lightscribe. LightScribe is an optical disc recording technology that utilizes specially coated recordable CD and DVD media to produce laser-etched labels text or graphics, as opposed to stick-on labels and printable discs, using the existing laser that normally writes the content to write the label.

It’s pretty awesome, but unfortunately too slow. A pretty big picture took about half an hour just to burn the label.

So, I’m going with Option 3: not worrying about the autorun.

    Chuckler, get a Dymo DiscPainter for your disc labels. It prints full color image label and text right on any printable disc. Best of all it only takes 1 minute at 600dpi and 3 minutes at 1200 dpi to print. The LightScribe takes 20 plus minutes per. Regarding the autorun, dude chock it up to experience for next time.
