How CDs are made

I've been doing a job search for a couple of months (trying to get out of Philadelphia). My most recent interview was at Sony Music in Pitman, NJ. This is where they make music CDs, DVDs, and Playstation games. I had a tour of the plant yesterday...very cool. I got to see them start with basically 16,000 pound bags of "powder" (I'm sure there is a technical term for it), make it into a CD, press a "master" into the CD and finally package. I got to see them putting together the Jack Nicholson / Diane Keaton movie "Something's Gotta Give".It was an "entertainment" junkie's dream...rows and rows of finished products...Music, Movies and Video Games.
