Abstract
Disclosed is a method for detecting an angular position of a rotating media having a native wobble signal. Prior to recording data on the rotating media, timing information is obtained from the native wobble signal in the rotating media over a substantial portion of a prerecorded media area of the rotating media. An angular position of the rotating media is determined from the timing information. The determined angular position is used to accurately print an image onto the rotating media.
