I have avoided light-scribe media because of the higher media cost, the limited contrast range of the label, and that writing the label takes more time than the data. I use printable media instead. Advantages: The label supports color, added protection for the data layer due to printable surface, takes less than a minute to print the label, and the media costs just a bit more than regular discs.
