Line 44:
* In addition, tapes duplicated at this company also have two different length codes on the left of the information: on pre-1996 tapes, the nominal length is above the record tab (usually broken off), while on post-1996 tapes, it is on the bottom label portion. On some tapes printed using thermal magnetic duplication, the length was preceded by the letters "TMDSP" or "TMDEP".
* After 1996, tapes duplicated at MediaCopy, Inc. would have an engraving on the left side that indicates the company that distributed it.
* Tapes from this duplicator, that say "TMDEP" or "TMDSP" in the printings, had a few additional seconds of black screen following the blank space at the very end
* EP/SLP (TMDEP) tapes from this duplicator usually lack hi-fi sound.
