  1. A special drive? by MikeFM · · Score: 1 · on Burn the CD on Both Sides

    This is pretty cool but I wonder why it needs a specialized drive to accomplish the job. It'd be awesome if they could just save their label image as an ISO and use any recorder available so as long as you had discs with their special labels. Stuff like this is pretty cool but if it requires buying a new cd/dvd burner I probably won't consider it until I need a new burner.

    I'd like to see something like this, or better yet, like DiscT@2 , designed into future disc specifications. Why have labels at all when discs can be usable on both sides and labeled with tattoos such as these? Why suffer a sepperate process to label the discs when they can be labeled as part of the burning process?

    While I'm wishing... give me multiple terabytes of storage per side of the disc and make it so both sides of the disc are usable without flipping the disc. :)

  2. Reminds me of.. by mr.henry · · Score: 5, Informative · on Burn the CD on Both Sides

    Yamaha came out with something similar back in 2002 called DiscT@2 that let you put text and graphics on the unused portions of the data side. It never really took off.

  3. Re:Legal Question (was Re:Good idea but...) by greyfeld · · Score: 1 · on Shifting From P2P To Stream Ripping

    While that is a nice marketing statement designed to get your attention, a visit to the Yamaha CRW-F1 web page reveals that this is not the only thing it is being marketed as. You seem bent on attacking me for pointing out that it is legal to make copies of CD's in a certain way. However, the legal downfall of Napster hinged around the argument that computers and CD-ROM devices are NOT covered under this law and that makes using them to copy digital audio illegal. I'm not saying I like or dislike the way it is, that's just the way it is. Burn away. I don't care what you use.

  5. Yes, but... by xYoni69x · · Score: 2, Interesting · on CD Burners with Built in Compression

    Can it draw an image on the data surface of the disc?

  6. New Yamaha CD writer. by AntipodesTroll · · Score: 1 · on Alternative Art Media?

    Yamaha DiscT@2 is at least a rather new creative example of a media (CD dye) getting an artistic application.

  7. It can only do it on the outer unused sections by EnglishTim · · Score: 2 · on Yamaha CD-RW Drive Writes Images In Substrate

    http://www.yamahamultimedia.com/press_02.htm

    When reading the original writeup it sounded like it was being burnt between the tracks or something - apparently this is not so. It also begs the question of whether this could be done in software with current CD burners...
