Lots of people ask us what is the best way to send content to us for CD & DVD duplication.
The choice is yours; you lose no quality whichever way you decide to send it to us.
You can either send us a hard copy master in the post or upload your files to us here to create a master for you.
We have to have a physical master for the duplication process to work so if you send files to us we create a cd/dvd master from those.
We can create a master disc from WAv Files,ISO,IMG,NRG. DDP or Bin/Cue
If you choose to send your files to us electronically you receive a link from us by email after you check out and this allows you to upload to us by WeTransfer. If you choose this option on check out is costs either £10 or £25 depending on which files you are sending and whether you need metadata adding.
If you are in any doubt or need any help with your order just call us on 01702 530 354, or come onto live chat and we can clarify things for you.

Fans love to have something tangible to take home after a live music event.
Make some cash and sell your Cd’s after a gig; dont make them too expensive and you’ll sell more.

I thought it was worth reminding our customers that at Duplication Centre we also specialise in Waterproof Print.
https://www.waterproofprint.com
Using our State of the Art Richo Pro C7100sx we produce waterproof print in 300 gsm and 170 gsm for outdoor pursuits,outdoor cafes & restaurants, aqua sport and other marine needs, maps, walking & hiking, leaflets & flyers….and the occasional poster for a lost cat!!!
I have to add in here, post Covid pandemic, that our waterproof stock is perfect for any use that you have where you need to constanty wipe or clean the paper.
We are proud to say that among our customers we have the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds who use our waterproof books in their bird hides and pond dipping areas where wipeable paper is essential.

Computers use an online database to display CD information, the most common one is known as Gracenote, a more detailed article on Gracenote can be found here Gracenote CD Database and CD-TEXT.
Tunes and Windows Media Player DO NOT read and CD-Text embedded on the actual CD, at all! This is common for all computer CD player software.
When the CD information is displayed on a computer, the info is coming from an online database. The database is usually Gracenote (the more common) or AllMusic.
The Gracenote database serves CD information to: iTunes, WinAmp, Quintessential Media Player, and Finder (Mac OS). The AllMusic database serves CD information to: Windows Media Player, Rhapsody, and Real Music Player.
Registration on these databases must be completed by you, the client, rather than us as no extra information is added to the CD for them to work.
You can find further information on how to submit your CD on the below links.

Amongst other multimedia skills the Xbox One console will play audio Cd’s.
The Xbox One is DLNA-compatible so can stream audio.
The Xbox one contains a slot loading mechanism to load and eject discs .
So if you don’t have a cd player but do have an Xbox One there is a good way to be able to play your old and newly purchased cds’s.

We have massively decreased the price of all our card products…why?
Two reasons:
To give you a boost as we get back to normality, with live venues opening again; it will make your money go a bit further!
To promote the use of eco-friendly card products in our industry, which is historically very plastic orientated.
The price drop includes single card wallets, double card wallets, lancing packs and digipaks.
All our other prices remain as they were, which is still very competative.
