SID codes
- Mastering SID codes: IFPI LG31, IFPI LG32, IFPI LG33
- Mould SID codes: IFPI 3Vxx.
Until 1997, Future Media had no LBRs to make glass masters. Discs from this period were mastered at other plants and have the mastering codes for that plant. When they did eventually acquire LBRs, they registered new SID codes for them, which is why their mastering and mould codes don't match (normally, mould codes starting with 3 correspond to mastering codes starting with L9 or LA).
Ringcodes

Second type (Mastered by Technicolor)
These discs were mastered for Future Media by Technicolor.
The ringcode text consists of:
- The disc's Future Media serial (FM and a number, with no space);
- The publisher's serial for the disc, followed by a slash and an identifier for the publisher, all in parentheses;
- Codes added by Technicolor.
Each section of the ringcode text is widely separated so that they're spread out around the ring.
The mastering SID code (which is IFPI L891 or IFPI L892) is located above the Technicolor codes in small letters.
There is no mould SID code or toolstamp.
Todo: this and this have "MFG. BY 3888" on them. Where is that located on the disc, and what does it mean?

Fifth type (IFPI LG32, IFPI LG33)
These discs were mastered on newer machines.
The ringcode text consists of:
- The manufacturer name, followed by a large space;
- The disc's Future Media serial (FM and a number, separated by a space);
- The publisher's serial for the disc, followed by a slash and an identifier for the publisher, all in parentheses.
The remainder of the ring is covered by a solid bar. Inside the bar there is a toolstamp, which consists of the letters C, M and S, each followed by a two or three digit number. M stands for "Mother", S stands for "Stamper" (or "Son"). It's not clear what C stands for but it presumably refers to the Father. Todo: verify whether some discs lack the toolstamp.
The mastering SID code (always IFPI LG32 or IFPI LG33) is written in small letters above the end of the bar.
