Gold CD-R's look to be the next best thing, and I can run those off fairly
reliably in small volumes. What I'm tempted to do is take the income
from CD-R's, and let that accumulate until it makes economic sense to
get glass master(s) made.
No, let the revenues accumulate. You don't want the risk inherent in
buying and then owning 1,000 discs at a time. CD-Rs make much more sense.
If you make a mistake on the glass CD, you own it. If you want to
make a change, change the hard disk master and be done with it.
CD-Rs are so cheap! I know people who regularly cash in on stupid,
stupid promotions (either at mainstream computer stores, or spiff'd
specials at online stores) where you get CD-R blanks for free or
nearly so. Writers are cheap.
