Yamaha said they're releasing an announcement in march. Anybody heard anything about this? I would love to be able to burn images, literally, onto a CD rom.

Damnit, that's cool. I wanna see pictures.

sweet that's awesome. I saw something like this on AOL CD's from about 2 years ago.

That IS cool.. Would have to be a weird editor though.

I've been told we're getting two here at MusicMatch to test with, although I think they're both going to our Florida office (that's where the Burner development is).

If I can convince them to send some test ones this way, I'll post pics. Although I was told that some of the stories on the press release included photos, so maybe somebody here can find one.

There's one picture here

That's neat... I'd like to use something like that to put information about CDs that I burn on the disc.

ya seriously, thats too cool for school man, i wonder what the sucker price is thou

For those who didn't see the Slashdot post, here's a link with a few pictures:

Somewhat disappointing is this fact: The drive burns the images only in unused areas of the CD. So, if you're like me and fill your CD-Rs completely, then the picture feature is useless.

That was in Maximum PC a last month (or the month before).... Pretty cool stuff...

Actually I would love to have this for doing backups, incremental backups, etc. Have it automatically "burn" a datestamp would be the best!
