foodsexsleep is now off to manufacturing (music)
Of course, after I spent the $19 for Discmakers to generate a UPC, I found out that TuneCore provides them for free. Meh. I also found out that TuneCore does manufacturing now and they're about the same price as Discmakers, so I could have saved a lot of trouble in dealing with Discmakers' crappy interface. Meh. Oh well.
No idea when it'll be available on iTunes/Amazon/etc. (Tunecore said "within 4-6 weeks") but I should be getting the first 100 CDs sometime next week. I guess I'll send like 20 of them to CDBaby and see how that goes, and one to Pandora, and so on. (And for the next 100 I'll try Tunecore's manufacturing instead.)
Also, as amazingly awesome as WaveBurner (in Logic Studio) is, it's a bit disappointing that it can't export a DAO cue/bin file, not that it matters since none of the manufacturing places seem to actually make use of them anyway - both TuneCore and DiscMakers had me just upload the tracks as individual FLACs. I hope the pregap/intergaps come out right. (DiscMakers says they don't use intergaps at all so it should come out fine, but TuneCore doesn't give a lot of details.)
Also, last.fm's album upload process leaves a lot to be desired. After wrestling with it for way too long, all that comes out in the end is static. Damn you, last.fm. Oh, crap, the mp3 was corrupt. Never mind. (LAME apparently doesn't know how to handle the extended frames SoundTrack Pro puts in and it barfs.)
Anyway, time for bed. Obviously no comic for Thursday. Sorry.
