besides that i think paper sleeves are a good option man. Im considering using them for my next release


Yeah read that. 90% of the tracks have samples so we were going with a local guy who doesn't care.

how did they rob you????


i'd go jackets, or wallets (econopac). cardboard is a really nice step up from paper, but still affordable.

/\ They did this...

To make a long story short, they wouldnt duplicate the audio (just the artwork) and they wouldnt send me my master back, AND they wouldnt refund my money for the audio part of the service. but hey, thats they policy i guess.

i also want to add that i searched all over the diskfaktory website, looking for any mention of sampling or samples, and found nothing.

when they told me they wouldnt burn the audio because of samples, and i cant get the "burning" portion of my money back, i asked what tracks they werent happy with. I wouldve sent them a new master ommiting the songs they could pick samples from but they wouldnt even tell me.

long story short, i had to burn all the audio myself on my computer. i was pissed, but the album sold well and i made good money off it. Thats when i had DStruction.com up and running. i was sellin cds all over the world it was great.

then my website got hacked by a middle eastern religious group and i never made another.
