What is the best LightScribe software for Mac OS X (10.4.11 Power PC)?

Thanks for any tips.

"LaCie LightScribe Labeler for Mac"

It's supposed to be pretty good I hear.

The LaCie software doesn't seem to work now in Snow Leopard (not for me anyway). Sort of reasonable, as the software hasn't been updated for some time. The only one that I have working is Simple Labeler http://www.lightscribe.com/downloadsection/mac/index.aspx?id=852. As the name suggests it is quite basic, but quick and easy to use.

Disc Cover (http://www.belightsoft.com/buy/disccover.php) works, but isn't free. It's alright, better than the simple labeler but I was looking for something better than it when I came across this post. Any more ideas?

If you have Roxio Toast 9 or 10, you should already have light version of Disc Cover RE included in the suite.

+1 for "Lacie software". A good option in my personal opinion. All the best!

the biggest problem with Lightscribe for a Mac is it is easy to find the simple labeler but not the full template version I did the work here for you, this is the link to the proper labeler to fully use Lightscribe:

edit:
OK the info gets even better now the normal settings for the lightscribe labeler are a little washed out even in the highest contrast setting BUT here's the good news you can fix that by opening a terminal window and upping the print quality if you follow the instructions here:

Just scroll down to the instructions for Mac and click on the little link marked "here" in the paragraph to figure out how--it will cause the burner to take a bit longer to burn a high contrast label but well worth the time.

I was looking at getting a Freecom drive (It's slim, buspowered reading, FW400 too, and Aluminium). Are these drivers/software universal enough to use on that, or would it have to be a LaCie drive?

Plus 1 for lacie's software. For the record, I've had no problems with their software running on Snow Leopard.

Disclabel Is The Best. It's Not Free But It's Worth Every Cent.
