Some people claim replicated disks last 100 years and duplicated disks do not. Call me in 100 years and let me know if that's true. OK?
It's been pointed out to me that the world's largest online retailer -- AMAZON -- has a division that sells music on demand, and they are using DUPLICATED disks (not replicated, which a tiny handful of fans insist are so superior),
Here is what Amazon says:
"CD-R Note: This product is manufactured on demand when ordered from Amazon.com"
"CD-Rs and DVD-Rs (the 'R' stands for 'recordable'' look like the discs you're used to AND OFFER THE SAME AUDIO AND IMAGE QUALITY. This recordable media is used to manufacture titles on demand, as fully authorized by the content provider.
"Through manufacturing on demand, CreateSpace, part of the Amazon.com group of companies, enables Amazon.com to offer music and video content that might not otherwise be available. Each disc comes fully packaged, with artwork, in a standard jewel case for audio and an Amaray case for video, although for reissued products the artwork may differ from the original.
"CreateSpace WORKS WITH MANY OF THE LEADING MUSIC LABELS, television networks, film studios, and other distributors to make these titles available to Amazon.com customers. All products are manufactured from original source materials (e.g., for audio products, uncompressed CD-quality audio).
"By eliminating inventory, waste, and inefficiencies in the distribution system, on-demand manufacturing provides the added benefit of helping preserve the environment.
"Amazon.com's standard return policy applies to these purchases."
