Re: cost of CDs, inflation ...

[Dan Billings <billingsdan@yahoo.com>]

The cost of physically producing the CD has little to
do with the price -- and I don't think anyone claims
otherwise.  It's that way with many products.

I think Attorny Ross has a good point.  What does the
average CD cost in a store?  I just bought the new
Johnny Cash CD on Amazon for $13.49 and didn't think
that was bad price.  In the late 1970s, I would buy
45s for $1 and they only had 2 songs and got scratchy
after a while.  

I wonder if some of the drop in CD sales is due to teh
fact that many people bought a lot of CDs to convert
their library to the new format.  Now that that
conversion is done for many people, sales have
dropped.
