What's the difference between replication and duplication (of CDs)?


I'm sure that a certain degree of snobbishness and marketing are
involved, but the term "replicate" implies an exact replica, a clone,
which is what, ideally, we want a CD copy to be.

"Duplicate" is a more general term, meaning making a bunch of copies
as accurately as you're willing to pay for.


Gotta disagree with you on this one, Mike! I think the industry has been
pretty darn consistent that replication involves pressing and a glass master,
and duplication is CD-Rs.
