Technically, a CD is mass produced in a factory, using machines that give us a final finished product.

A CD-R is a recordable CD, that you can burn data onto using an ordinary computer ROM drive. The advantage to the 10C is that they can offer a hard copy product that people have been asking for, without having to comission minimum orders to a factory only to have piles of unsold bootlegs sitting in a warehouse somewhere. This way they can literally "Make-to-order" in house, while driving costs down significantly.

Where this becomes an issue of controversy is that CD-R's can sometimes be spotty on quality and definately degrade faster than a "pressed" CD.

However, word has it on the board that 10C is using very high quality CD-R's and are guaranteeing them, so this may not be an issue.

Thanks man.
