Even with a supposedly perfect setup, it is still possible to make mistakes, turning a fresh, new, blank CD into a useless piece of circular plastic.
CD duplication is even more tiresome, since it ties up the host PC for hours or even days on end.
This large beige box from DynaTek should alleviate at least some of the stress associated with CD creation and duplication. But that would be rather a waste of a thousand pounds. Instead, the CDM3500 should first be used in the normal way to create a CD master. After that, it can be disconnected from the host PC, leaving that computer free to do other things. With the master now prepared, it can be duplicated at will.
