I had one of those "LightScribe" burners. I think I only used it a couple of times because the media was much more expensive than standard CD-R and I didn't care enough to get good at it. It was just a slow extra step when I'm trying to burn a quick cd before I head to the bus stop in the morning.

Funnily, burning the lightscribe cd was faster than the first mp3 player I had. My first mp3 player was a Creative something or other with 32mb of storage. Adding the ~15 songs you could fit on it took fucking donkey's years.
