CD Duplication and Distribution:
Shawn Thomas Studios highly recommends CDDVDNow, a CD/DVD duplication and replication company located in Castro Valley, CA.  Over the past 17 years, Shawn Thomas has worked with multiple duplication companies, and personally endorses CDDVDNow as the best company he has ever used for his own projects.  They offer a wide variety of packages, including multiple panel inserts, digipacks, CDsingles, double-sided discs, digitally enhanced, HD-DVD, and much more.  Their rates are always competitive and usually beat other duplication companies and their quality is top of the line.  They offer package rates to short-run orders, and even offer special bonuses such as barcodes for only $9.95 and the new "Bandlink" Interface technology.  Plus, CDDVDNow is part of a resource network for artists including Indie Artists Alliance and iMuzic.  For more information visit the sites listed below, or send them an email at info@cddvdnow.com.

Some artists have also used sites such as CDBaby.com to create a website and online store. CDBaby offers great digital distribution opportunities along with point of sale assistance with credit cards.  Also recommended is HostBaby.com for website design and hosting needs.

Shawn Thomas Studios can help you choose a distribution strategy that is suited to your budget and image.
