Labelling CD-Rs

I just bought a CD burner (Pioneer PDR-05). The instructions for the audio CD-Rs say to label with a water-based marker only, and DO NOT apply adhesive labels. The water-based markers I tried just sit on top of the plastic and wipe right off. Anyone have a specific suggestion?

I label mine with a Sharpie pen - works great if you let it dry for about 15 seconds before touching it. -Kirk

Pick up a package of Sharpie permanent markers at Staples or Office Depot or other office supply store. The "twin tip" version gives you both a thin line and a somewhat fatter one. And Pioneer is right. Don't use a label. You'll have fun with the burner. Enjoy.

Buy a sharpie at your local drug store. I think it sould read do "not" use a water based marcker.

Write on the inside clear part of the CDR. Some people I know say that the ink can effect the dye on the other side when written on the panted side. I'm not sure of this, but it doesn't hurt and it is better to be safe than sorry.

Also, for information concerning CDR's check out this site.
