LightScribe comes to Mac
LaCie today unveiled a complete LightScribe solution that works with Mac OS X and includes free labeling software for Mac OS X. The Mac software supports printing to multiple drives, allowing users to daisy-chain up to 999 units together to create a duplicator-like effect and print hundreds of discs. LightScribe technology enables users to burn silk screen-quality labels on to LightScribe-enabled CDs or DVDs inside the drive, without requiring printing supplies. "We're the first company to offer an all-in-one data writing and LightScribe labeling solution for all operating systems. LaCie was first to ship a LightScribe-enabled CD/DVD drive for the Mac, and now our user-friendly LightScribe labeling software is available for free to Mac and Linux users with LightScribe-enabled drives." LaCie LightScribe-enabled CD/DVD burners and media are available via the company's website, and the software requires Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later.

Ok, I'm a tad confused. LaCie has a link to the app, but it doesn't look like an app format that makes any sense. It wants to open in RealPlayer... http://www.lacie.com/download/drivers/4l_mac.rpm Am I missing something or is this a bad link?

It look as if you grabbed the Linux driver. Those are in RPM format.
I cannot get to lacie.com to get you a good link, but hopefully they will fix it up soon.

Before installing this application be sure to read the comments at VersionTracker. Pass on this version boys and girls. "There be dragons ..."

A struggle to install

I had earlier version of LightScribe software as part of my purchase of the LaCie DVD internal drive for my Dual 2.5 GHz PM G5 (June 2004). My firmware revision was LC00 so I had to upgrade this to LC03 first. Then downloaded the Upgrade 1.2 version for LightScribe Labeler software and installed that. However, when launching this updated LightScribe Labeler 1.2 app it complained I had not updated my firmware/host software. After a bit of of struggle with this I decided to download the 1.2 version installer and I installed that and that worked. After this the Labeler software worked flawlessly.
I only wish there were LightScribe DVD DLs to be purchased as at this time ONLY SL can be bought.

Lacie LightScribe Labeler for Mac has been available for a very long time. What's new is actually LightScribe for Linux.
