many of my early burns (1994'ish) are now dead - its a glue issue.
Ive heard from others the Lightscribe is very cool, but it takes a while to etch them.
+ the limited media factor as mentioned above.

cheap thermal printers are only $100..not bad.
the good color thermal printers are still $1000

stickers are OK if you just expect 10 - 15 yrs from them.

The inkjet printable media have a printable surface, and they are fairly new to the market, or at least I only saw them recently.

I don't know how well the stickers work, I've never used them.
