Samsung SH-S223Q LightScribe™ DVD-RW

Funny how you can go so long without needing something, then all of the sudden, you need it. Well, that is the case for me in regards to a CD/DVD burner for my computer. I have a ton of music that needs to be converted to CD Audio (.cda) so the need has arisen for a CD/DVD burner.

After some pretty exhaustive research (I'm OCD when it comes to computer hardware and peripherals), I have settled on the Samsung SH-S223Q 22-speed DVD Writer with LightScribe™ 2.0. Strange thing is, the media is more expensive than the drive. $29.99 for the drive, $31.99 for 30 Verbatim 700MB LightScribe 2.0 CD's.

My kit consists of two Ion CDJ's that only play standard CD's, so I need to convert my new tracks to CD-Audio (.cda) and burn them up so I can start spinning them. Almost 5 hours of new tracks (see previous post) arrived and I've been listening to them non-stop on shuffle, getting a feel for how certain tracks will work together.

Should be getting the drive on Tuesday'ish.
