I love the ability to scribe a laser label on my disks. The added bonus of having a few colors is great. I will always buy lightscribe drives from now on. Why mess with any other kind of labeling system? I haven't tried Lightscribe DVDs yet, but plan to as soon as the prices come down a little more. The only thing I'd like is a faster scribing process, as stated in the Cons. That's an equipment issue, not an issue with the CDs. I'm sure it will happen sooner or later.
What's great about it: Lightscribe CDs are awesome and easy to use. Mutiple colors are great for organizing.
What's not so great: I wish the scribing process didn't take as long a it does, but that's not an issue with the media itself.

I really really like these discs because the playback is so great. My car cd player has a hard time playing other burned cds and it skips a lot when playing them. But with the Verbatim brand, I've never had a problem. The lightscribe is great too. It does take a while to burn the labels, but that is because of the process not the cd. It only takes about 5 minutes to burn the band and disc title. When it's on sale I try to pick up a pack every time.
What's great about it: These cds have a great playback where other brands are kind of shady for me.
What's not so great: These are expensive cds especially for a pack of 25, but they are well worth the price.

I have burned quite a few labels with these so far. I find they are lasting as long on the colored CD's as they do on the gold one's. I have seen brighter colors advertised by Lightscribe online but I haven't been able to find these any where to purchase. The colors on these CD's look good, especially the turquoise & red but otherwise they aren't very bright. I'd like to see them come out with deeper brighter colors that will hold the prnted labels for longer.

Verified Purchase:Yes
I love the idea of labeling directly onto a disc. I bought an external drive with Lightscribe capacity and this package of discs. It takes a long time to apply a label, and the results are disappointing -- very light, almost imperceptible labeling. Trying to run the process twice for more definition just doesn't work. The second image shadows the first by about a quarter inch. Sorry, this just isn't the answer, however much I wish it were.
