So cool.
It's a shame it happened so late. You can almost imagine labels working some magic in the 2000s (perhaps using the unused space on discs) and burning cool images onto the inner/outer rings of actual albums with music on them.

There were HP drives back in the day that used disks with an extra coating on top so you could flip them and burn something cool onto the label side, but the idea of adding designs in the dead space on the data side is so much cooler!
I’m wondering if there’s anything that could be done with a nonstandard burner now to add an image on the data side that’s human visible but doesn’t interfere with the pits and lands for data storage… something like the way dual layer DVDs work but transparent to the standard CD laser, perhaps?

Lightscribe! I still have a few blank Lightscribe discs lying around, along with a Lightscribe drive that could draw on them.
