Today, anyone who is planning to get songs, pictures or other information transferred from disc to disc can take comfort in knowing they can have CD duplication done on their media discs. CD duplication is a process which involves copying data to a blank disc from another disc. If you happen to be using an outside service to do the job, what they will do is take two discs which you provide – an original disc containing the information you want transferred, and a blank disc – and process the info transfer. These services will even put any artwork you want to see onto the disc by printing it out on paper, then pressing it onto the finished duplicate disc.

On the other hand, there is another process that’s known as replication. In this process – which is much like the professional work done on any CD that you might see sold in a store – a company will take a disc which you provide to them and place it on another disc. This is similar to CD duplication – except that for replication to take place, the company must create a stamper, as well as a glass mater disc on which your information is placed. The replication process takes longer than duplication, since time must be taken to create these items before your transfer can begin. By contrast, CD duplication can be started as soon as you present a duplication company with an original master disc. Always be certain you know whether the company you choose is going to duplicate your discs or replicate them. One other thing you’ll want to do is to select an outfit who will utilize the option called “compare and verify”, which confirms that the copying was successful, and the exact duplicate of the original master. If you decide to have this option used, note that the copy process will take perhaps up to three times longer than if you didn’t make use of the option.

Among the many CD duplication services available are Media Technics, which uses a cutting-edge system known as the FUSION system to process your media at rates that are among the industry’s quickest. Then you have Triple Disc, a service that gives clients quality work, completing some tasks in as little as 24 hours. These are certainly options you’ll wish to consider if you should need such businesses. CD duplication is the preferable option for those who are getting less han 500 discs copied – but so many discs will still likely leave you wishing to use some sort of service rather than trying to do it yourself...

And in fact...you can actually do it yourself. Consider that today’s computers most likely already have CD burning capabilities installed. Anyone who has some knowledge as to how CD burning is done can have media copied in the privacy of their own home. Imagine the ability to have pictures, music, or whatever copied in little time on your PC or burner source without having to pay huge sums of money to companies to do the job for you. How sweet would that be??

So choose from the many options CD duplication has to offer – and great luck in discovering the best path for your needs.
