LightScribe Here To Stay


While they have talked about LightScribe for years, it appears to be gaining some momentum. Look for it on your next drive or system, and you can put ypur Sharpies in the draw.
The biggest question, in my mind, was whether LightScribe would gain enough momentum to make it a common enough to drive media availability up, and media prices down.

That question has been answered, in part, with today's announcement by LightScribe of 17 new licensees of the LightScribe technology. Included among the new licensees are drive makers Panasonic and Pioneer; hardware brands Asustek, Freecom Technologies, and I/O Magic; media brands BenQ and Maxell; and software developers Acoustica (MP3 CD-creation software), Droppix, New Tech Infosystems, and NewSoft Technology; and system integrator Micro-Star International.
