Use Multiple CD/DVD drives?

[RememberWhenItRained]

I recently got a great deal on an external LightScribe CD/DVD drive. (been wanting to use lightscribe for awhile.) My question is, can i use both drives at the same time? Will Ubuntu recognize both?

Sure.

One will be /dev/sr0 and the other will be /dev/sr1.

can you burn two CDs at the same time? If it recognizes both, i don't see why not...

I used to have three in my system. They can all be working (burning, ripping, etc) at the same time.

Lightscribe works but it might not be as impressive as you think. The contrast is rather poor, even when using the highest quality settings and creating the labels with the Linux versions is something of a pain. It is much easier in Windows using Nero's lightscribe capability but I very rarely burn a lightscribe label anymore, even though I have 3 computers sitting here with lightscribe compatible drives. Depending on the way the label is created, it can take more than 15 minutes to burn it.

Wrong architecture because the only have a 32bit and not a 64bit version so far?

Dangit.

Is there a solution to this lightscribe problem, or will i have to run it in virtualbox?
