Unfortunately, LS Technology currently only does Grayscale on whatever colored label side is (Memorex sells "Cool Color" Disks in the colors shown in the LS Template Labeler).
I have used:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/browse/-/3023481/ref=tab_m_gw_l
to obtain album cover or to get artwork.
I use this + Custom Template I've developed to make the "USE" copies [which have track lists (I get some of these from the same site)] I actually play, thus saving the originals for remaking copies when I need them.

so if I download the Amazon link you provided, I'm good to go? I need no other software or programs? the color part (or lack of it) doesn't impact me as long as the art is accurate.

You need a program like the FREE LightScribe Template Labeler from this site or a paid program like SureThing.
How I create Labels Containing a Track List
- I've put together some stuff I use to create CD Labels.
- I wrote up the procedure I use in a PDF File.
- I make PDF Files of any Documentation I create.
- I have V1.14.32.1 of the LSS & since Version 1.17.90.1 of both the LSS & the corresponding Diagnostic Utility.
- I include an "Additional Stuff" Folder which contains anything I create while developing My Custom Templates.
- I created ZIP Files for 6 Windows Vista "Right-Click" Directory Commands I developed to support making Track Lists & other procedures I use.
- I "ripped off" the "Template Playlist Beta" (For which LS has NO documentation, NO source, & LAID OFF the Technician) "Full" & "Half" Disk Templates; fixed them; & then create a ZIP File of the two templates.
- I have a PDF that contains "Template vs Simple Labelers" - a comparison of what is the structure of each template.
- I found 6 FREE Tools I use for development, & have more I am testing.
- I have a PDF which contains a "Mini Resume" & a lot of "LightScribe Stuff" I've researched.
- I continually develop PDFs on the Tools I use for development.
- I've developed 301 Custom Templates (in 51 Collections + 6 Private Ones), 108 Images (in 12 Collections), 174 Icons, and 4 Test Background Images for the LS SL.
- I developed 4 Test "borders" for the Simple Labeler.
- I developed a New Custom Wedding Template for one Forum User.
- I developed 11 Custom Templates for 5 other Forum User from Sample Images they provided or Detailed Descriptions.
- I developed 4 Custom Templates which use Circular Text Items & Circular, Oval, & Diamond Shaped Images.
- I developed 6 User Defined Functions in VBA for Excel for Transforms.
- I developed 4 User Defined Functions in VBA for Excel for Circles & Ellipse.
- I developed 11 User Defined Functions in VBA for Excel for Path Data.
- I fixed one LSL File for another User by changing a White Outline of some Text to Black.
- I created Previews of all my Custom Templates & Images & have Mini-Catalogues of both as PDF Files.
- I created 174 ICONS & a PDF Preview.
- I tend to concentrate on Filling the entire disk surface especially with TEXT, Bold, Outline, White Text, & More Font Control.
- I published 14 Newsletters & a List of Newsletter Topics about what I've been doing & 2 other FREE Programs I've been researching.
- I have studied the XML parts of the 2007 Versions of Microsoft Office Access, Excel, & Word.
- I just developed 7 Template Making Tutorials
- I have all this & more in My MS Windows Live Skydrive.
- I am working to develop more Custom Templates.
- I am sharing my work with 267 Forum Users.
Send me a Private MESSAGE containing:
- Your correct E-mail Address (REQUIRED BY SITE to send links & it's NOT included automatically in a Private MESSAGE);
- Your full name (For my records); &
- A nickname you use (For my records).
I am retired on a disability, & I do this TOTALLY FREE.
I also try my best to keep E-mail Addresses confidential. I use "Blind Carbon Copies" when I send out anything.
I only occasionally send out Special Notifications, if I do something major.
The only "COST" is your E-mail Address which is REQUIRED by My Windows Live Skydrive to allow access to the stuff I've developed.

I burned some VHS tapes unto CDs. I down loaded the cover from a cover on Amazon. Why doesn't my photo show up on the copied CD? I don't want to have to download the image to a label, print it out, and then attach the printed label to the CD. I prefer the original art work look on the CDs. I prefer the original artwork on the cover of the CDs. Any recommendations?

No. That Amazon.com link is where you get the album art images. Once you have downloaded the desired image, you then have to bring it into a LightScribe Labeling program, provided you a have everything else needed(see Jim B's post).
