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.

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.

If you dont want to just give your music away via Spotify or any other streaming/download facility have a look at our sister company The Digital Publishing Center :
https://www.thedigitalpublishingcenter.com/
It is free to sign up and pay as you go service…if you dont sell anything you won’t pay anything.
Upload your content to our servers and your customers can buy your music/video or information with “buy buttons” from your website or social media pages. We action the digital delivery to your customer once they have paid you and bill you a monthly 10% commission fee.
It’s really worth looking into this as a way to make some money with less live gigs and social gatherings in the current climate.

In the duplication process we have to use a hard copy disc master to work from, and in the past our customers have largley sent these to us by post…..and many still do!
We have however found it particularly helpful during the lockdown period that we are able to accept customers masters digitally and create a hard copy master to work from here. With queues at the Post Offices because of social distancing and less staff working it has been a really helpful.
We can create masters from your files if you have an electronic image in ISO, JMG, NRG, DDP or BIN /CUE or you can send us audio or video files which need authoring.
If you need any more information about this the FAQ’s on the website can help you or you can call us on 01702-530 354 and ask any questions.
