New HP Drive Lets You Burn Your Own Label

  1. A better idea, which works with all burners by oingoboingo · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Instead of wacky proprietary CD label burning systems which require expensive media, I have a suggestion. Just burn a JPEG onto the data track of your CD-R which depicts the label you would like. How the fuck do you all like that, huh? No Linux drivers required.

    Jeez, info about this drive has been around for weeks now.
