Droppix sent us a press release announcing that their new Droppix Label Maker has received a LightScribe certification. Droppix recorder is a rather interesting and a fairly new CD/DVD recording suite that promises usability without sacrificing advanced features.

PARIS, September 13, 2005—Droppix, the new gold standard in digital media technology, announced today that its new Droppix Label Maker software for creating professional quality CD and DVD labels received official LightScribe® certification for Direct Disc Labeling technology from Hewlett Packard.

Droppix Label Maker with LightScribe® technology provides a complete and intuitive solution for creating customized labels for CDs and DVDs and printing them directly on the surface of the disc via LightScribe-enabled optical drives.

LightScribe Direct Disc Labeling is a new technology that offers consumers and businesses a simple, no-hassle way to burn professional, silkscreen-quality labels on their CDs and DVDs. Using the same laser that burns data in their disc drives, customers burn their data as always, flip the disc over, reinsert it into the drive and burn a precise, iridescent label.

I have briefly tested one of the very first versions of Droppix, and the software seemed promising. Decent pricing at €39.90/$48.00 so perhaps worth a look. A trial version is available free of charge.
