So don't use labels--write on the top of the disk with a fine-point marking 
pen.  Or, there is a system where the disk can be engraved on the top--
it's called Light-Scribe.  The disks are from Memorex, and I don't know who 
makes the drive.  I also don't know if there is a driver for Linux.  Somebody 
here will know.  It's pretty neat--my son gave me a music disk written this 
way.
