- The rise these past few years of digital download sites like iTunes and the proliferation of file sharing has given birth to a dark industry-wide rumor that truly qualifies as an easy to debunk urban legend: that, much to the dismay of audiophiles, recording artists and CD collectors, the CD format is on the wane.
According to Alex
Romano, CFO of the thriving Las Vegas based Odds On Disc CD & DVD Manufacturing (www.oddsondisc.com/main.cfm), nothing could be further from the truth. "A recent article on the future of CDs in the industry magazine One To One confirms what our company has known all along--CDs are actually more popular than ever because on a global scale, music is more popular than ever," he says. "Even with the advent of different ways of digital delivery, statistics show that overall, consumers prefer buying CDs over downloading music.
In addition to independent bands, recording artists and labels from all over the world, Odds On Disc offers full service CD, DVD and DVD-HD replication, packaging and fulfillment solutions to a wide variety of non-musical clientele; these include film directors and producers as well as large corporations, who, among other things, disseminate DVD catalogs of their products to consumers and at trade shows.
Part of a new "mega complex" that is the first major facility of its kind capable of providing world class recording & mastering, Odds On Disc is located in a 25,000 sq foot building in Henderson, Nevada that has the capacity to turn out over two million discs per month. These orders can range from small 1,000-piece runs for bands looking to sell their CDs at gigs to half a million DVD units for companies with various optical media business needs; corporate video catalogs are especially appealing to companies wishing to "go green" by eliminating standard print catalogs.
