  <description><![CDATA[Regarding solution #2, most release parties happen ether on the day of a release, or within a few days. I agree that it would be great if Shipit could get CDs out faster, but even if the CDs were magically created within 10 seconds of a release, the best they could do is get them to their destinations about 48 hours latter (and this would be quite expensive). Faster shipping would be great, but is not a solution to this problem.]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[I agree crash.  It would be very expensive and would not get to their destinations in time for many of the release parties.]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[#3 would not work due to the simple fact that the product is not in it's final state until release date, thus the reason for calling it a "release date"!]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[Solution #1's ability to tell the difference between ShipIt and user-burned is important. Glad it's in that solution.]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[If we can make the burning cycle faster, I don't see a reason why CDs cannot reach faster. It shouldn't take more than 2-3 weeks for a package to reach anywhere in the world, tells my USPS experience.]]></description>
