pre-master vs. glass master
What's the Difference between the CDR and the Glass Master?
Premastering, not mastering, is the more accurate term, since the true master for a Compact Disc is called the Glass master, which is etched on a laser cutter at the pressing plant.

Does that make sense to those of you uber-intelligent slugs who decided to flame me? No wonder you have so many posts...

I got your private message . . . and I still don't see your point . . . you just stated that "since the true master for a Compact Disc is called the Glass master, which is etched on a laser cutter at the pressing plant". Isn't that what Tom's article is talking about. And you just about quoted verbatim from this link which I am familiar with. A laser is involved.
