Re: Doing it the correct way (was: Putting out your CD)
Intereseting. This is the first time I've heard of a ISRC code, seperate
from a UPC code. What does that stand for? My CDs are on just about all of
the digital music services, and I'm pretty sure I don't have one of those
codes. And what is IFPI? These are alien acronyms to me.
