So how do we set the price? $8.95? Really? Is that the key?

Even on ebay where I have gotten some hard to find used disks I'm paying $10 or more + shipping. I don't know what a fair price could be, but $17 is pretty steep when you consider most of the disks I buy are just digital versions I've already got on vinyl. New music, forget it, it's not worth it.

Bottom line, I'd say $10 or $11 is reasonable, I know you have to make money so the music industry are the ones who should come down in price.

I own hundreds of CD's, and in the last two years, I've bought next to none. I got good and damned tired of paying nearly 20.00 for a CD with maybe two decent singles on it. And if you like a single, you can't by it for less than 5.99 or so. I've got euro-groups whose entire albums are great. From beginning to end. It seems like here in the American industry anymore, they find a couple of tunes in a new artists material that sound like decent radio singles, promote the hell out of them, and then when you buy the album, you find out the others songs sound completely different, and all too often, the song that made the charts isn't even one the artist wanted on the album to begin with. Look at the Rembrandts and Duncan Shiek's first album. I'm sorry, but until I can listen to a CD ahead of time and find out whether it's got more than one decent song on it, and until I can buy a CD for 9.99, I'm not buying another one. Not when I can download it and listen too it first. I think that's the real bitch that the RIAA has with mp3's. You can now see what kind of crap they're peddling in it's entirety before they can bamboozle you into buying it.
