Where to get a short run of discs duplicated?

[JonWormwood]

25-50, replicated with full color artwork is what I'm looking for!

Discmakers?
I Get catalogs by mail from them and they seem top-notch and pretty good prices

I used Discmaker's short run service and it was nice except you have to upload every song individually. Found out the hard way when we got great looking cd's and sleeves that only had a bin/cue file stored on them. After uploading the disc image, there was no indication that it had switched the order to a data disc. It was about a $250 order and they said we could do it again without the sleeves for $100, but we didn't have time, so we just burned a bunch of discs manually and put the sleeves on them.

So! if you have a mixed/mastered disc image, and you don't need/want polywrap then just order the discs blank and burn them yourself.

Discmakers do support disc images, but BIN/CUE is a format traditionally used for data CD's which probably caused the mix-up here. When sending your masters for duplication as digital images, it's advisable to use DDP format (which I absolutely love <3) and always make sure the company supports the format beforehand.

As far as I know for online uploads, Discmakers will accept DDP and image files for replication orders, but not duplication. For duplication they accept individual Wav. or Flac files.

Yeah, that's what I found out the hard way. I didn't find anything that said what the gap between songs was, so i figured it would be ok to up an image and they would be able to figure it out.

Wow, that's a bit odd. When I'm the emperor of the universe, I will make DDP a compulsory format for master delivery and behead those who insist on using optical media.

I've noticed most of the quick short run options are per song uploads like that rather than sending a whole master.
