I too got fucked by best buy. I burn tons of CD’s for personal use and my brother’s band. I did my homework on the CPU I wanted but didn’t know the difference between lightscribe and labelflash. The employee gave me a bottom line that they were both compatible but labelflash was superior because it was faster and sharper. I came to find out this guy as well as everyone else at best buy has their heads way too far up their ass. Way to mislead everyone. I will never buy anything from those ass wipes again. At least know the basics about the products you sell and if you don’t know than say so. I could have gone home and found out on my own. Fuckin jackasses!!!

I should also mention that the label burning software seems to have a “under the hood” configuration option to set the contrast, but it’s not usually exposed to the user. Only CyberLink’s LabelPrint seems to allow that to be changed. SureThing’s contrast seems to be cranked up to the max. You may also want to make sure that the image you’re printing to the disc is high contrast (a washed-out photo will look terrible no matter what you do).

LabelFlash looks really nice, very high contrast out of my LG drive. I’m using SureThing’s label printing software (http://www.surething.com/ST/). It’s not free, but worth the modest price- and there’s a two-week trial.

If you have LabelFlash let me know what the images are supposed to look like. I purchased a Gateway computer with LabelFlash last year from a Best Buy store and purchased the discs from their website. I tried to burn some pictures on the disc and they came out very faint. I wasted about 4 discs trying to get the images darker. When I called Gateway for help they told me that they could not help me. Geek Squad won’t help me because they say that it is a Gateway problem. I do not know what to do. The one year warranty is about to expire. Please help.

Wow, people. This is not hard.

LIGHTSCRIBE AND LABELFLASH ARE INCOMPATIBLE. You can’t use a LightScribe disc in a LabelFlash drive, or vice versa.

LightScribe has a much larger share of the market, they offer DVD and CD formats in multiple colors, and the media is much cheaper- however, be aware that they fade when exposed to sunlight. Don’t expect to use a Lightscribe label for archival purposes.

LabelFlash is technically the superior of the two products, but they only offer expensive DVD media and the drives themselves are only shipped in Toshiba, Gateway, and eMachines PCs (good luck buying an OEM drive). The “label” is printed beneath the surface of the disc, so it’s more durable- but it’s also only available in blue. Toshiba seems to have abandoned the format.

Best Buy is not the only store with idoits, I too have a gateway with labelflash. I went to walmart looking for cds and was sold lightscribe disk. I even called gateway to ask if there was a difference between the wto brands and was tolf I could use lightscribe cds withe the labelflash program. Needless to say I learned the expensive way. I think the Labelflash program is a ripe-off. One last question. Can you burn music onto a dvd and will it play in a cd player??
