"We are very pleased to participate with LightScribe Direct Disc Labeling in the American Idol Underground contest, as Aleratec LightScribe-enabled disc publishers are the perfect solution for the Prosumer musician market," said Perry Solomon, President and CEO of Aleratec. "It is exciting to be able to offer prizes that will make the winning artists and listeners the envy of their peers. With the broad availability of Aleratec products through major retailers, in stores and online, you do not have to be an American Idol Underground winner to experience the advantages of Aleratec advanced DVD/CD duplicating and silkscreen quality LightScribe labeling."
According to contest rules, up and coming artists submit songs for online play and the listeners play and rate the songs online. Songs with the best listener ratings get promoted and played more and the top artists win prizes.
1st prize: The 1:4 DVD/CD Tower Publisher LS (Aleratec Part No. 260150) simultaneously produces up to 4 DVD/CD Copies, Recordings, or clearly labeled discs. This DVD/CD duplicator can copy as many DVDs and CDs as you need and laser burn silkscreen quality labels with LightScribe Disc Labeling technology built in. Also included is an Aleratec CD-R LightScribe 52x Duplicator Grade Media 400-Pack.

LightScribe lets customers personalize the labels on CD/DVDs with photos, images and text. The prizes include a choice between a HP DVD940i (internal) and DVD940e (external) drives both with LightScribe Disc Labeling technology built in. There are 10 winners for each of the two genres, pop and rock.
3rd prize: Aleratec CD-R LightScribe 52x Duplicator Grade Recording Media that meets or exceeds the stringent industry standards in a 100-Pack Cake Plate Storage Module.
Aleratec LightScribe-enabled disc publishers combine LightScribe enabled DVD/CD recorders with specially coated LightScribe certified media and the powerful Aleratec Disc Publishing Software Suite, to produce precise, laser-etched, silkscreen quality labels with superior sharpness and clarity. Aleratec's LightScribe disc publishers create professional-looking CD and DVD labels right in the drive -- no messy markers or additional printing supplies required. Just burn your images or data onto the disc, flip the disc over to the label side, and burn a customized label. Users can burn a few discs or many and complement each with descriptive titles, content lists, graphics or company logos on their labels.
Three additional Aleratec LightScribe disc publishers are available:
The Aleratec 1:2 DVD/CD Copy Cruiser Pro LX (Aleratec Part No. 260154) is the first expandable LightScribe DVD/CD Desktop Publisher that allows users to purchase only what they need now and scale up later. The 1:2 DVD/CD Copy Cruiser Pro LX is a stand alone 1:1 DVD/CD Duplicator.
