Amazon/TuneCore/Universal

Hmmmm.... saw about this on another forum;

TuneCore, Amazon Set to Unveil On-Demand CD Sales | Epicenter | Wired.com


This bit:

Universal Music Group — the biggest record label in the world — has also partnered with TuneCore to offer additional services to its indie artists. For $50, Universal’s Grammy-winning producers will master your music for CD before it gets distributed. And for another as-yet undisclosed fee, Universal’s art department will also design the high-resolution PDF that iTunes now requires with each album submission — all they need is four images and the names of your songs.

The end of us all (etc etc)?

Sounds like extreme marketing department lingo for: "Universal Digital Release Department will compile your album for itunes release for you."
