H Him Fully Optimized Messages 3,191 Apr 19, 2005 #8 What do you mean they are pressed? They arent, they are written to, or 'burned'. http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/question655.htm Even big companies that spit out lots and lots of cd's use burners. Justs lots of them, and they have ways to expedite the burning process.
