I had to pay to have CDs cut and the Chicago team is an approved team. I think we received 500 Feisty CDs, and they were handed out as evenly as possible to our team members in just a few minutes. So we were out from day one. I had requested more CDs from ShipIt for a couple of local events and both times they were denied. So I paid to have CDs made as well, and it isn't cheap. It would actually be cheaper to purchase a CD duplicator that will even print the labels directly to the disc in the long run, which is something I am looking into now. My buddy purchased one off of ebay for his band, and he can burn about 1000 CDs easily in a day, with artwork. The CDs look really good as well, they don't look cheap. He paid anywhere from $1000 to $1500 for his setup, but he has made a ton on selling his CDs for $5 each at a show. -- Richard A. Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG Key: 0x2E2C0124
