The Logic Off Topic list

In MacOS 9 I made my mastered CD's with Toast/Jam. Now, in MacOS X 10.3 I only use 
iTunes. I wonder if it's a proper CD when you burn it with iTunes. Is it compliant (with PQ-
coding), so it can be used as a master, so it can be duplicated by a duplication company.

Thanks,

Remco

While I do not know for certain, I doubt it - I don't think iTunes was 
ever intended for that purpose, so it's likely that they never 
incorporated those functions.

Jam is available for OS X... oh how I wish Sound Forge/CD Architect 
were available for OS X...

Well, I don't mean I have to be able to edit the coding. The question 
is because I'm about to finish a CD with about 6 songs and ofcourse 
there's no problem to make a CD out of it with iTunes. I just place the 
songs in a playlist and burn it. But from that CD I want a CD-factory 
to make 100 duplicates (they burn it, because it's quite a small 
number). I think it will work fine, but just wanted to be 100% sure.

P & Q codes are completely irrelevant if they are burning CD-Rs. You only
need to worry about supplying a PMCD (with P & Q codes) for replication.

Thanks, that's what I needed to know.
