Andrew: If each disc is different, then there are a number of one-off CD "cutters" that can be recommended. On the other hand, if you are talking about 1-2000 replicate per month, you definitely do *not* want to consider anything but a friendly contractor for replication. A mastering plant requires a capital investment of $2-6 million, not to mention the cost of personnel to run the equipment. While your volume is certainly significant, it would be difficult to justify such an investment. Any one of the mastering houses in North America could serve your needs for few thousand per month. Just as few book publishers own their presses these days, CDROM publishers contract out their manufacturing. For what it's worth… Rich Bowers
