Caught this piece at The Inquirer about Toshiba’s new “super fast” USB 3.0 flash drives. “Super fast” refers to the drive’s ability to read or write up to 25 GB of data in about 5 minutes. This would make them about 22 times faster than a conventional USB 2.0 drive. This is made possible by […]
About 20 times a month, we get a very specific question about a fairly common disc packaging item. We kind of touched on this in a previous post, but we thought we’d elaborate a bit further and specifically. “What’s a digipak and how is it different than a regular jewel case?”. We’ll answer this…but first, […]
Had the opportunity to replicate The Glorious Ache by Sills and Smith recently – the third full length release by the Ottawa area group. You can pick up Glorious Ache as well as their previous records here on CD Baby. You can pick up the record on iTunes here. Sills & Smith is an independent, […]
CD and DVD duplication and replication is a process that creates in most cases (if done properly) an exact bit to bit copy of the source that’s been submitted – the source sometimes being a “master disc” of content.

Promotional flash drives are great tools to create brand awareness and market your business while simultaneously providing value to the recipient/end user. There are a variety of customization methods that you can choose with many standard USB drive models available without having to go the customizing route to get that particular look you want. We […]
Utilizing a custom USB flash drive for your marketing is one of the most engaging ways to convey any communications project. Custom USB flash drives are fundamentally different than a traditional CD or DVD. They have a re-usable element, are considered high value items to the user, and have a personal and professional application for […]
CD packaging options for an audio release can be a difficult decision when mulling over the details when pressing and manufacturing CDs. We always like to collect comments and thoughts from customers about it. It’s typically a situation where multiple things are being taken into consideration. If you’re touring – lugging 1000 or 2000 jewel […]
