Shortrun FAQs
Can you copy the ISRC code?

Do you error check your discs?
Yes.
What kind of media to you use?
We use only Taiyo Yuden. Ask anyone in the business. Taiyo Yuden is considered the best.
Will these discs play in all drives?
Recordable media and burner technology have dramatically improved to the point that this is usually not an issue. To further avoid any future problems, we can run a test disc for you to check in any other players you want before we hit the record button. We cannot control the player you are using, however, and we recommend frequent cleaning of the drive (a common reason for poor playback).
Duplication versus Replication
CDs and DVDs can be reproduced either by Replication (Manufactured) or Duplication (Short Runs). There are advantages and disadvantages to each method, and reasons to choose one over the other.
Handling a CD or DVD
We take CDs and DVDs for granted these days, throwing them on the desk, stuffing them 3 at a time into paper envelopes. But if we truly want these repositories of precious music and data to last, we need to handle them carefully. Here are a few points you may or may not know.
- The data side (bottom) of the disc must remain free from scratches, fingerprints, dust, etc.
- Cleaning the disc can actually damage it.
- NEVER touch either surface.
- Handle by the edges (or center hole).
- NEVER set a disc down on a hard surface.
